Robert MacIntyre of Scotland, who had a best-of-the-day 63 to finish in fourth place at the PGA Tour’s season-opening Sony Open in Hawaii, was on the verge of losing the title earlier in the tournament.

The 29-year-old moves up one place in the world rankings and is ahead of another American, JJ Spaun, by four strokes over home winner Chris Gotterup, who finished last.

Rory McIlroy, who finished joint third at the Dubai Invitational, is still the best British player in the world rankings, one place ahead of Tommy Fleetwood from England and Scottie Scheffler of the United States.

The left-hander from Ryder Cup told the Golf Channel, “Doing that cost me a shot.” “I can’t be letting my attitude cost me this golf tournament,” I said.

You must be in the right position at the right moment to make it through a round like today.

“Big, big reminder for me that attitude needs to be right for 72 holes, not just 36,” he said.

In Honalulu, MacIntyre shot five birdies in the final round before moving on to the turn in 30 seconds, and he also added shots on the 15th and 18th to earn 12 under par for the week.

The US Open runner-up said, “It felt like I missed in the right places off the tee to give myself chances,” and I putt beautifully.

The “Massive Reminder of attitude must be spot-on.” I thought I did a great job of that last year.

Meanwhile, Gotterup placed second behind Ryan Gerard in a final 64, with Patrick Rodgers, a third American, finishing further back.
