Nerve-Wracking Finish at BMW Championship: MacIntyre's Struggle
MacIntyre

Robert MacIntyre could only watch from the sidelines as J.J. Spaun clinched the U.S. Open with a spectacular putt at Oakmont two months ago. On Sunday, when Scottie Scheffler executed a remarkable chip to take the lead at the BMW Championship, MacIntyre had a last chance but failed to capitalize.

MacIntyre, after starting with an impressive 62 in the first round, couldn't sustain his performance throughout the tournament. With a four-shot lead entering the final day, three bogeys in the first five holes erased MacIntyre's advantage, and his play continued to falter.

After Scheffler's birdie on the 11th hole put him ahead, MacIntyre faced a challenging atmosphere with hometown fans loudly cheering for Scheffler. Despite narrowing the gap with a birdie on the 16th, MacIntyre was ultimately unable to match Scheffler's 82-foot chip on the 17th, resulting in a disappointing finish.
