Quick Quotes

Q. Opened your account with a 67, 3-under par. Sum that one up for us?

ROBERT MacINTYRE: It was fairly steady. I thought I got off to a decent start and then kind of around the turn I wasn't finding the fairway. I wasn't finding the middle of the club face. But we hung in there and knew it was a reasonably tough finish and I managed to steal one on the 8th hole.

Q. You were out there with Rory, who snatched the tournament from you last year. Have you forgiven him yet, and was it mentioned?

ROBERT MacINTYRE: No, it wasn't mentioned. I've spent quite a bit of time with him since then, and obviously from The Ryder Cup I've got to know him personally. He's a good guy. I get on really well with him.

I try not to think too much about that. Hopefully end of my career, I can have a Scottish Open under my belt.

Q. You receive great support every time you play The Scottish Open but since last year when you were here you've won a Ryder Cup and become a winner on the PGA TOUR. How was the reception out there today?

ROBERT MacINTYRE: It was great. Scottish fans are always kind to me. But the support over the time I've turned pro has been unbelievable, and the Scottish people, especially the golf fans, are right behind me. Hopefully I can keep doing them proud throughout my career.
