The Scot finished sixth as Matt Fitzpatrick edged out Rory McIlroy in a playoff as the 2025 season came to an end in the UAE
Bob MacIntyre
Bob MacIntyre carded a career-best sixth place finish on the Race to Dubai money list to finish his DP Tour season…despite putting “like a d***.”
The Scot rounds of a successful 2025 season that included a second placed finish in the US Open and a successive Ryder Cup victory with Team Europe on US soil.
But despite that, MacIntyre was less than pleased with how he played out his final round in Dubai as Matt Fitzpatrick edged out Rory McIlroy in a playoff.
“I didn’t putt good enough today,” said Oban’s favourite son.
“Yesterday I hit it terribly, went on the range, phoned Simon [Shanks, his coach] and got it back. Today I had my chances to get right in about it, but I just putted like a d***, to be honest.
“This is the level I expect myself to be playing at but I wasn’t well last week and felt like what I got out of it was brilliant. It was almost the maximum I could get out of it. This week, it was a good opportunity.
“I felt like I played nicely for probably 36-40 holes but, other than that, it was a struggle but it shows my attitude is good when I am over the shot and I am committed to the shot. There is no thinking about the last shot.
“Look, I let my anger show like everyone does and it might just show a bit more”.
