MacIntyre said he could still play in the Bahamas in December, but that decision would depend on how his preparations for next season progress.<\/p>\n
“Right now, before I was playing today, I’ll probably play in the Bahamas in December, see how my work’s been getting on,” he said. “We’ll make a decision on that at the end of the time.<\/p>\n
“It’s going to be a quiet two-and-a-bit months, I think.<\/p>\n
“Try and lose a bit of weight. Get in the gym. Do a bit to the house. Hopefully build a simulator at the house. Life’s good.”<\/p>\n
Whatever decision he makes, MacIntyre will return to St Andrews next summer when the Old Course hosts the 155th Open Championship.<\/p>\n
The world number 19’s top-six finish this week suggests he is finally beginning to appreciate the demands of the famous course.<\/p>\n
The Old Course has undergone a number of changes in recent years, including new bunkers and tees on some holes.<\/p>\n
“I love the town – I’ve always said that,” MacIntyre said. “We come here on family holidays. St Andrews is a special, special place.<\/p>\n
“The golf course was never my favourite, but it’s starting to grow on me. A lot of people have said that, the more you play it, the more you start to enjoy it.<\/p>\n
“Obviously, the success has helped that. I’m starting to see things where I can push a little bit more up off the tee shots on certain holes or other holes.<\/p>\n
“So I’m starting to work it out.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MacIntyre said he could still play in the Bahamas in December, but that decision would depend on how…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":871844,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[427,99],"class_list":["post-871843","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/871843","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=871843"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/871843\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/871844"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=871843"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=871843"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=871843"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
