ACTION<\/a> how MacIntyre\u2019s behavior last week was simply unacceptable.<\/p>\n\u201cHe\u2019ll need to win every week to cover the fines he should be getting,\u201c Chandler said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAugusta could fine him five grand or a hundred grand. You wouldn\u2019t know.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut he\u2019ll have been taken to one side, and somebody will have given him some very stern words, which are better than any fine.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt might have gone something like, \u2018listen, young Mr. MacIntyre, if you behave like that again, you\u2019ll find your invitation won\u2019t be turning up next year.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause everybody gets invited. Even though you qualify to play, everybody gets invited. He\u2019s just got to stop that. It\u2019s ugly, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

\u201cHe could have his invitation to next year\u2019s Masters void because they\u2019ve been known to do that before.\u201c<\/p>\n
That\u2019s absolutely spot on.<\/p>\n
MacIntyre\u2019s ugly behavior was certainly not befitting of a Tour player who is idolized by so many young fans.<\/p>\n
Robert MacIntyre going through what Lee Westwood went through<\/p>\n
Chandler has managed Lee Westwood and Darren Clarke throughout pretty much their entire careers in the game.<\/p>\n
He highlighted how MacIntyre is now experiencing exactly what the Englishman and the Northern Irishman went through.<\/p>\n
\u201cBob is going through what Lee Westwood and Darren Clarke went through when they suddenly got thrust into a limelight where they\u2019ve got a chance to win the Masters or a major,\u201c he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember when the Open was at Birkdale in 2006, Lee was favourite for the Open.<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember thinking, \u2018How ridiculous is that?\u2019 He went to his major now, instead of thinking, \u2018good, we could finish high up.\u2019 Now it\u2019s, \u2018I\u2019ve got a chance to win this.\u2019\u201c<\/p>\n
It has to be said that MacIntyre isn\u2019t quite at that level yet, where he is expected to win major championships.<\/p>\n
He may well chalk one or two off within the next few years, but he\u2019s certainly not entering the biggest tournaments as one of the favorites to win them.<\/p>\n
Also, without being pernickety, The Open Championship wasn\u2019t even held at Royal Birkdale in 2006\u2026just saying!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Robert MacIntyre really let himself down last week at Augusta National.
