Bob MacIntyre showed his boom or bust approach to golf as he leapt to the top of the leaderboard at the Betfred British Masters at the Belfry. A remarkable start to his second round saw one of the sport’s rising stars birdie the first five holes and then drive his ball into water on the next. “It’s the way I play golf,” he said of his enthralling, aggressive approach. The Scot’s round of 66 took him to seven under par alongside compatriot, Calum Smith, and Richard Bland, the 48-year-old Englishman seeking his first European Tour win at the 478th attempt. Sponsored“It would be like all my Christmases at once,” Bland said as he contemplated a maiden victory.
