Robert MacIntyre wants to be as ruthless on the course as he has been off it after splitting from the caddie who aided his rise from the Challenge Tour to Scotland’s top-ranked player.

MacIntyre and Greg Milne, from Waterford, worked together for more than two years as the left-hander graduated to the European Tour and earned rookie of the year honours in 2019, aided by a share of sixth in the Open Championship at Royal Portrush.
