Robert MacIntyre delivered an outstanding performance in the first round of the BMW Championship, carding an impressive 8-under 62 to secure a three-shot advantage over Tommy Fleetwood. His round featured exceptional putting, culminating in six consecutive birdies - a feat that represents the longest birdie streak in FedEx Cup playoff history since 2007.
A two-hour storm delay actually worked in the players' favor, as the subsequent softer conditions at Caves Valley made scoring more accessible. MacIntyre's putting display included remarkable long-range efforts, notably a 65-foot birdie on the 12th hole.
While Scottie Scheffler remained competitive with a 66, and other contenders like Rickie Fowler stayed within striking distance, MacIntyre's performance has positioned him perfectly for the remainder of this crucial penultimate playoff event.
