Robert MacIntyre says he is coming in to this week's Open Championship with the same 'zero expectations' he had before winning the Scottish Open last Sunday.
Live radio and text commentary on BBC Sport website, with video clips each day. Daily highlights programme on BBC Two from 20:00 BST.Ten days ago, Robert MacIntyre was talking about wanting to "lower the noise" around his chances of winning the Scottish Open and The Open.
"I'm not a big drinker, but when you get moments like that, and you've got family and friends there that have backed you since you were a young kid, it was quite right to go absolutely wild," said the 27-year-old."After this week's over, I'll sit down with my team and we'll reflect on it and probably celebrate again because it was a lifetime goal.
He qualified for the European Ryder Cup team and was unbeaten in three matches in a comprehensive victory over the Americans in Rome before going on to secure one of 10 PGA Tour cards handed out to the DP World Tour's best players."I realised those guys are just normal guys. It wasn't until probably then I realised: You know what? If these guys can do it, I can do it."
"I'll still play on the PGA Tour. Nothing's changing other than I'm not paying a whole lot of rent on a house I maybe spent four or five weeks in since January. To me, it's absolute madness.
