Macintyre: Ryder Cup? Right now I just want to go and smash my clubs

Bob Macintyre isn't the first or won't be the last golfer to come up shy against world No 1 Scottie Scheffler - but he was less concerned with the American or the Ryder Cup standings after his second placed finish in Maryland

NEARLY: Scotland's Robert MacIntyre confirmed his Ryder Cup spot in Owings Mills.

Bob MacIntyre's qualification for Europe's Ryder Cup team offered him little immediate consolation after he blew a four-shot lead to lose the BMW Championship to world number one Scottie Scheffler.

The Scot's hopes of victory in the penultimate FedEx Cup play-off event were eventually extinguished when Scheffler chipped in for an unlikely birdie at the 17th to give himself a two-stroke lead going down the last.
