Robert MacIntyre opens up on first Masters as Scots golfer shares Yes Sir I Can Boogie return pledge

Robert MacIntyre is raring to return to the Masters as he shared his joy at playing on a course he'd only ever seen via video game.

The young Scot finished in 12th place at Augusta, ensuring that he'll be invited to return next year.

It's the best Masters finish by a Scottish golfer since Colin Montgomerie, as MacIntyre finished two-under.

The tournament was won by Japanese golfer Hideki Matsuyama but MacIntyre was pleased with his first tournament at Augusta.

And as he departed the 24-year-old shared a video featuring Baccara's 'Yes Sir I Can Boogie', which has become an anthem for the Scotland football team.

MacIntyre, who was born and raised in Oban, said: "I was a little disappointed with my finish but the birdie at the last might have got me back for next year so I have to take the positives from this week.

“I played great for my first time here and tried to manage my way around a golf course I had never seen before.

“I had only ever played it on computer games with my pals. It’s completely different being here in the battle.

“I learned again that I can compete. Match play is a different beast because it’s one against one and you don’t know how the other guy is going to do. He might play poor and you beat him.

“But I am playing against the best guys in the world now.

"Playing in Europe is slightly different. You are not seeing these courses week in, week out.

“I feel if I’d known this golf course better I might have been up there competing.

“But I am happy enough with how I played.”
