MacIntyre said he could still play in the Bahamas in December, but that decision would depend on how his preparations for next season progress.<\/p>\n
“Right now, before I was playing today, I’ll probably play in the Bahamas in December, see how my work’s been getting on,” he said. “We’ll make a decision on that at the end of the time.<\/p>\n
“It’s going to be a quiet two-and-a-bit months, I think.<\/p>\n
“Try and lose a bit of weight. Get in the gym. Do a bit to the house. Hopefully build a simulator at the house. Life’s good.”<\/p>\n
Whatever decision he makes, MacIntyre will return to St Andrews next summer when the Old Course hosts the 155th Open Championship.<\/p>\n
The world number 19’s top-six finish this week suggests he is finally beginning to appreciate the demands of the famous course.<\/p>\n
The Old Course has undergone a number of changes in recent years, including new bunkers and tees on some holes.<\/p>\n
“I love the town – I’ve always said that,” MacIntyre said. “We come here on family holidays. St Andrews is a special, special place.<\/p>\n
“The golf course was never my favourite, but it’s starting to grow on me. A lot of people have said that, the more you play it, the more you start to enjoy it.<\/p>\n
“Obviously, the success has helped that. I’m starting to see things where I can push a little bit more up off the tee shots on certain holes or other holes.<\/p>\n
“So I’m starting to work it out.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
