US PGA Championship: Robert MacIntyre must be patient and ‘let it happen’ – Colin Montgomerie
Colin Montgomerie has urged Robert MacIntyre “to be a little more patient and let it happen” as his fellow Scot chases a first major championship.
MacIntyre, 29, went agonisingly close at last summer’s US Open at Oakmont, where he finished runner-up.
However, he missed the cut at last month’s Masters and drew criticism for his on-course behaviour at Augusta, where he directed a middle finger gesture towards the 15th green, slammed his club into the ground after a poor shot on 17 and was also repeatedly heard swearing by microphones.
World number 12 MacIntyre is hoping to make the headlines for all the right reasons at this week’s US PGA Championship, which got underway in Pennsylvania on Thursday.
Eight-time European Tour Order of Merit winner Montgomerie said: “It is the way he is, I think there is fire in his belly and he wants to be good and better himself and win and that is important, not to lose that but at the same time that is forcing it and to force it, especially at Augusta or these majors where it is the ultimate test, it is very difficult.
“So, if I am giving him any advice at all, and who am I to give advice, but I would love to say to him, ‘just let it happen, let it breathe, be patient and let it happen’ and I am sure if he does that success will come.”
Montgomerie, 62, who was in Aberdeen promoting this summer’s Staysure PGA Seniors Championship at Trump International, added: “After his fantastic performance at the US Open last year at Oakmont where he was a putt away from winning, I think he is probably trying a little bit too hard.
“So if he can just let it happen and let that talent shine through, he has every opportunity of winning a major, which would be great for Scottish and European golf obviously.
“The game is there, he can play the game. The green work is superb, the chipping and putting is superb and that is where it is won and lost.”

Carabao Cup: Burnley edge win on penalties, West Ham, Norwich & Watford through | Football News
Kyle Walker struck the winning penalty as Burnley edged out Notts County 4-3 in a shoot-out to reach the Carabao Cup second round after a 1-1 draw at Turf Moor.
Newly-promoted County, League Two play-off final winners over Salford in May, led through Callum Roberts at half-time before Zian Flemming equalised early in the second period for the Clarets.
Walker struck the winning penalty after Burnley goalkeeper Max Weiss had saved efforts from Notts pair Emile Acquah and Jacob Bedeau in the shoot-out.
West Ham came from behind to beat Portsmouth 3-1 at the London Stadium in their first match following relegation from the Premier League.
The Hammers fell behind to Adrian Segecic’s first-half opener, but turned it round before the break with Taty Castellanos and Jarrod Bowen on target, before the former notched his second in the second half.
Substitute Jamal Lowe struck the only goal as Sheffield Wednesday beat 10-man Bolton 1-0 at Hillsborough.
Lowe scored midway through the second half after Bolton’s Xavier Simons was sent off for punching Owls’ on-loan Leeds striker Harry Gray in retaliation having been pulled back.
Millwall goalkeeper Lukas Jensen saved all four of QPR’s penalties as the Lions won 2-0 in a shoot-out at Loftus Road after the game ended 1-1 after 90 minutes.
Luke Cundle had given Millwall a second-half lead after a goalkeeper error before the Hoops hit back through a late own goal from Mark Sykes.
Norwich debutant Andre Brooks was on target as the Canaries cruised to a 4-1 win against MK Dons at Carrow Road.
Cardiff substitute Jack Moylan also scored on his debut, firing the winner as the Bluebirds won 3-2 against Swindon, for whom James Debayo was sent off for two yellow cards in the final six minutes.
August Priske’s first-half finish sealed Birmingham a 1-0 win at Swansea and Marc Bola’s stunning long-range strike deep in added time clinched Watford victory over Crawley by the same score.
Late goals from substitutes Andri Gudjohnsen and Jayden Fevrier secured Blackburn a 2-1 win at Burton.
Newly-promoted Lincoln picked up where they left off last season, winning 2-1 at Derby thanks to first-half goals from Ben House and Dom Jefferies before Sammie Szmodics pulled one back for the Rams.
Ollie Norburn’s own goal and Robert Bozenik’s late effort secured Stoke a 2-0 win against Oldham at the bet365 Stadium and Bradford pair Will Swan and Aden Baldwin earned their side a 2-0 home win against Rochdale.
Fleetwood captain Ched Evans’ first-half effort sealed his side a 1-0 home win against Chesterfield and Cambridge hit back to beat Barnet 2-1 through second-half goals from Ben Knight and Isaac Heath.
AFC Wimbledon, Barnsley and Reading progressed after winning on penalties against Newport, Wigan and Bromley respectively, while Preston, Shrewsbury and Doncaster came through respective shoot-outs against Huddersfield, Salford and Stockport.
Luca Moore’s late goal sealed Crewe a 2-1 victory against Accrington at Gresty Road and late goals from Demetri Mitchell and Idris El Mizouni secured Leyton Orient a 2-0 home win against Oxford.
Peterborough, Luton and Blackpool all won on the road, at Bristol Rovers, Gillingham and Grimsby respectively, and Caleb Okoli’s header secured Leicester a 1-0 home win against Northampton.
In the evening kick-offs, there was a 2-0 victory for Southampton as Cyle Larin and Romeo Akachukwu scored their goals at Colchester.
While West Brom won 4-1 at Rotherham and Charlton secured a 3-1 victory at Cheltenham.
