Robert McIntyre joins us now at the 106 PJ Championship Robert how you feeling after your first three rounds feeling good um a little bit hot today but no feeling feeling good about the game obviously last night was a poor finish and a bit disappointed but we’re still W in the golf tournament and I came out today and um just tried my best and I don’t know what’s going to happen um no one does so I just try to control myself as well as I could and I thought me and Mike mad done a good job of it that’s great thanks we’ll open up for questions with Jeff got a you got a really Bunch leaderboard uh what’s the key for you tomorrow to get yourself ready stay in that mix to be honest just keep doing what I’m doing um I was obviously in with the chance last week um didn’t quite happen but I kind of highlighted a few things that um or me and my team highlighted a few things that we could maybe try and not do um so tomorrow that’s another test for it so go out there and try and control myself as well as I can and to be honest for me it’s all about acceptance um I just got to accept where the golf ball goes like I stood there on on 16 um hadit a drive right down the middle and I’ve got a big mud ball and I’m standing there going well you can mump and moan about this as much as you want but you got to hit that golf ball and I stepped over the golf shot just hit a six iron and just in my head I was like just swing it accept what happens and it was perfect it went straight thankfully but that’s really my attitude for tomorrow is go out there commit to the golf shot and and accept as much as I can here to Dylan it’s big tournament obviously massive crowds out there how does the pressure of today being one of the final groups compared to say playing on Thursday and Friday um look the only reason there’s pressure is because you care so much or the nerves is only because you care about what you’re doing the position that you’re in um but it’s fun it’s part of it it’s it’s new in an individual event the pressure obviously the rider cup was a bit more severe um but I had teammates to back me up this time it’s me and me and Mike mcad um we’re out there fighting as much as we can but I’m going to get nervous tomorrow I’m going to be nervous tonight but all I can do is try my best and that’s honestly as much as I try and say it to myself that’s honestly all I can do I just try my best and and see where we end up if I’m in with a chance I’m in with a Chance um and then we might start thinking about winning a golf tournament but until about probably the 68th hole tomorrow I’m going to try and just play golf and then at the 68th hole I have to maybe think about what I’m doing did you have to remind yourself that it’s supposed to be fun or does that part come naturally to be honest it’s all about my own mindset it depends on how I’m feeling as a person outside of golf um everyone knows I’ve been struggling with Living in America for since January it’s been difficult I went home there for three weeks spent a lot of time with friends and family and everyone that really matters to me um and I can back out wanting to play golf and I mean if you want play golf you’re going to practice hard you’re going to enjoy it and yeah the performances have been there the last we while right here on seven um you talked about acceptance being an important word for you uh were was that something you you had struggled with in the past not accepting what did that look like when when yeah it’s just it’s more about um we don’t try and hit bad golf shots we’re trying to hit good golf shots but I’m not a robot um I’m going to hit bad ones I’m going to Mish hit them but everyone’s going to do it and it’s just about accepting it and I’m going and dealing with a shot I’ve got all the tools to deal with whatever shot I’ve got so as long as I don’t get angry or really down on myself then as long as I still got to find touches in my hands I can I can play any golf shot that I really want to depending on how it comes off when you were home for the those three weeks did you get any good advice from anyone in your life to be honest I’ve I’ve changed quite a lot within my team [Music] um obviously Mike who’s cing for me this week was cing for me for a for a week while there when Danny Willet was out injured Mike ad’s at a wedding this week so Mike’s back in the bag um but to be honest I’m just out here trying to enjoy myself as much as I can it is as boring as it may be for you guys it is I’m just really trying to enjoy myself and the last three days have been great the golf course is a great test long tough golf golf course but I’m playing nicely so it’s just just play golf over to Mike five last summer you had a bit of uh an opportunity to win the Scottish open you know the same kind of experience of being the home crowd favorite that Justin Thomas has right now I’m curious like what what it Nets out if it’s easier because you have so much support or if it’s harder because you have a lot of pressure to perform in front of everybody yeah I’m not sure it’s just it’s different um it felt unbelievable playing at Scottish open in front of the in front of my home crowd obviously had a chance but Unthinkable happened um one of the best golfers on the planet done what he done and it’s probably a moment the feeling I had walking down 18 at the Scottish open before I even hold hold that but the feeling I had walking down there is something that there’s not many places that Rory mooy goes and they’re not wanting them to win and that was the Scottish open was probably one of them um and it’s just cool to have so many people on your side wanting you to do well and wanting you but sometimes can be hard if it’s not going your way because you feel you almost feel like you’re letting them down but it’s part of golf um the highs and lows of golf all right thanks for your time Robert thank you
