Key Points:
- Scotland's Robert MacIntyre may face disciplinary action at the Masters after making a middle finger gesture toward the 15th green during his first round.
- MacIntyre's troubles escalated on the par-5 15th, where he hit multiple shots into the water and finished with a quadruple-bogey nine, contributing to an overall score of 80 (+8).
- The Scottish golfer also showed visible frustration by slamming his club on the 17th and swearing on the 12th and 13th holes.
- Masters organizers, known for strict conduct rules, are likely to review MacIntyre's behavior, which could lead to further consequences.
- Once considered a contender after strong performances earlier in the season, MacIntyre now appears unlikely to make the cut at Augusta National.
