Robert MacIntyre is at it again!
The Scottish golfer is under fire for throwing up a middle finger after suffering a quadruple bogey at the Masters on Thursday, April 9.
MacIntyre’s ball ended up in the pond at the 15th green and his next shot landed into the water too — and he was none too happy about it.
In footage from the tense moment, MacIntyre threw up the offensive gesture.
It is unclear if Masters officials will take disciplinary measures against the golfer, according to ESPN.

Things didn’t get any better for the two-time PGA Tour winner when he was later seen slamming his club into the ground on 17. He also swore on the 12th and 13th hole, per ESPN.
MacIntyre, 29, finished with an 8-over par 80, making it tough for him to make the cut after Friday’s round.
Apparently, all the swearing and drama is par for the course, as far as the golfer is concerned.
“I'll say some harsh things, but that's what gets me going,” he told Golfweek last year. “If I walk around and I'm all happy, I just made a double bogey or people are clapping, thanks very much, that's not me. I'm needing to smash something up. I want to rip a glove.”
He added, “I do something to get that anger out. It's better out than in for me. Some people it's better holding it, but for me it's get it out and then just do not let it affect the next shot. Simple.”
However, MacIntyre does make sure to rein it in when it matters the most.
After being in contention at the U.S. Open last year and waiting in the clubhouse to see if he’d be headed to a playoff with eventual winner J.J. Spaun, MacIntyre proved to be a good sport.
In footage from the moment, he was seen appreciatively saying “Wow” while marveling at the California native’s epic 64-foot putt that won it all.
