Bob MacIntyre was one of the positives in the golf world last season. The young Scot did magical things on the PGA Tour, although at the beginning of his career on this Tour he admitted that it was difficult to adapt to a new environment. The 28-year-old picked up the pace, started working more, and decided to spend more time on golf courses than talking on the press. Turns out he did the right thing.

The Hero Dubai Desert Classic is a chance for LIV Golfers to meet again some of their colleagues from the PGA Tour, but also to play again on the European Tour. Jon Rahm, who ingloriously ended his adventure at this competition, commented on Robert MacIntyre's performances, feeling they have the same character.
I absolutely love Bob, even though I only get about 35 per cent of the words he says as it is quite a thick accent and an accent Im not used to. Hes just a great player to be around. I feel like we have quite a similar character. In a way, we understand each other and hes just a fun person to be around.- Rahm said, as quoted by The Scotsman.
Jon Rahm: It doesnt take much to get to a different level
The young Scot achieved two victories, one at the RBC Canadian Open and the other at the Genesis Scottis Open, opening the door to even greater success. The 28-year-old golfer will play in four Majors this year, which is a huge step for him.

Rahm has no doubt that this golfer is destined for great things, and with a little effort and work, Bob could make big surprises this year.
Hes just a fantastic player. Two wins last year, one big one being the Scottish Open and him being at home and producing a birdie-birdie finish after almost doing it the previous year.
Yeah, plenty of talent and plenty of capabilities. It doesnt take much to get to a different level and he definitely has more than enough talent to do that.
