Robert MacIntyre fired a superb 63 to tie for fourth at the Sony Open in Hawaii, but his frustration boiled over after snapping his putter on Friday. He finished four shots behind winner Chris Gotterup, who closed with a 64 to secure his first PGA Tour title.

The Scot admitted his attitude earlier in the week cost him a chance at victory. While he climbed to sixth in the world rankings, MacIntyre lamented a missed three-foot putt on the 18th green that triggered his club break. He emphasized that maintaining focus for all 72 holes is essential.

Gotterup's win, two strokes clear of Ryan Gerard, shakes up the early season standings. MacIntyre's final-round surge showcased his talent, but the incident serves as a stark reminder of the mental grind required to contend weekly on the PGA Tour. His quest for a third career title continues.
