BOB MACINTYRE: I feel I didn't hit many good shots. Off the first two holes it was just water bottles off the face. After that, I didn't know what was going on.
Yeah, just a poor round of golf.
Q. And the conditions were pretty brutal at the start. Did that have any impact?
BOB MACINTYRE: It was horrific at the start. It was just trying to make pars and I was making bogeys. Tee shots cost me on kind of the first two holes, and after that I hardly ever hit a fairway.
Q. Seeing Rickie have a round like that, have you taken inspiration from him?
BOB MACINTYRE: No, I still fight, I still try, but when you don't know where it's going, you've got no hope out on the golf course like that.
It got to a point where I was just like, you know what, just hit it as far up in the rough as you can, because it doesn't matter, it's going in the rough.
But no, Rickie is a good player. He; played really well today, played well the last two days. I know what I can do, and today I was so far off it.
Q. Just an off day then, just come out of the blue?
BOB MACINTYRE: Yeah, this is my fifth week so I'm ready for a break. My attitude has been unbelievable for the last kind of five weeks, and today it was poor. But you have days like this. Just disappointed with the round, and yeah, just can't do much about it now.
Q. What will be the mindset tomorrow?
BOB MACINTYRE: Know that you've got 18 holes before you put your feet up. That's the mindset. Just a disappointing round, and I'm just going to try my best tomorrow and then absolutely chill out.
Q. It's a big stretch, isn't it?
BOB MACINTYRE: Yeah, it is, and with the way the emotions were last week, it's hard to keep motivating, keep going.
But it's The Open Championship, and I'm just disappointed in the way that I've played.
Q. Will you take a couple of weeks off?
BOB MACINTYRE: I don't know what I'll do. Just go and get the shinty stick back out, put the clubs away.
Q. After last Sunday, is your body just feeling --
BOB MACINTYRE: Yesterday before I went out, I was pretty flat. I didn't know how -- I bogeyed an early one yesterday, and then it was like, right, you've got to get your act together here, had a bit of a talking to with Greg and we spoke about it and just stayed patient, but the day was just absolutely abysmal from the start. I didn't do the right things well enough.
