‘I don't give a s*** what people think' – Scots golf star in foul-mouthed blast at on-course critics
ROBERT MACINTYRE is known for wearing his heart on his sleeve - and many love him for it. For some, it just rubs them up the wrong way. But MacIntyre? He couldn't care LESS what they think. Advertisement 2 Robert MacIntyre is defending his Canadian Open title this week Credit: Reuters 2 And the Ryder Cup hopeful has had a few choice words for his critics Credit: Getty The Scots golf star is defending his Canadian Open title on the PGA Tour this week. MacIntyre, 28, won the tournament last year in emotional style with his father Dougie drafted in as his emergency caddie. The victory was the Oban lefty's first on the elite circuit but it wasn't a straightforward one. Minus the last minute caddie switch, MacIntyre also lost his cool somewhat at a drone that flew over his head before taking a shot. Advertisement MacIntyre isn't one to hide his feelings and on other occasions in his career he's been caught swearing on camera whilst playing. And he infamously called for the iconic 17th hole at St Andrews (the Road Hole) to be "blown up" - which led to fellow pro Eddie Pepperell labelling him as "whiney". Ahead of this title defence, MacIntyre was asked about those who think he is perhaps too passionate and should do more to keep his emotions in check. He responded: "Most of time I don't give a s*** about what's going on. Advertisement "I really don't care about other people's opinions, to be honest with you. "If you're not part of my team, not part of the inner circle, your opinion really doesn't matter to me. "I think that's a massive thing, especially in the sport we play. I think it helps when you're trying to move forward, you're trying to dissect every part of the game to try and get better. "If you take too many opinions in that really aren't trying to help you, then, yeah, it doesn't help at all. Advertisement I think something I like is I don't really care about what others think outside of my team and my friends or my family." This year the Canadian Open is taking place TPC Toronto, as opposed to Hamilton Golf and Country Club where MacIntyre won last year. And while the venue for the event has changed, MacIntyre has still felt a warmth from the Canadian fans - even though he denied them a home winner 12 months ago. "Last year it was special, but to come back to a place that I've got fond memories of, obviously it's a different golf course, but as a place, as a country, with the fans as well. Advertisement "The support I got was unbelievable, all the way until Sunday afternoon when they were obviously wanting a Canadian (MacKenzie Hughes) to win!"

Wheatley confident Audi will be winners in F1
June 5 (Reuters) - Timing is everything in Formula One and Jonathan Wheatley reckons he got his right in leaving Red Bull, the team with the most race wins and drivers' titles this century, to become principal of Sauber. The Swiss-based team will become the Audi works outfit from next season but were at the bottom of the standings until Nico Hulkenberg's fifth place in Spain last Sunday raised them two places to eighth. Sauber have won only once since 1993 -- in 2008 when owned by BMW -- and there are nagging questions about how competitive the 2026 engine will be, with early reports not encouraging. But Wheatley said they had all the building blocks for success. "We're looking at a campus expansion, we've got an ambitious program ahead of us and investment from Audi and QIA (Qatar Investment Authority). I'm really, really super-excited about where we're at," the Briton told Reuters. "I do not come to work to make up the numbers. I absolutely believe that we'll get on that path and we'll be winning races and world championships." Wheatley has decades of experience, now in his 35th year in Formula One after starting as a junior mechanic with Benetton. He joined Red Bull from Renault in 2006 and was sporting director when he left at the end of last season. With Red Bull he won six constructors' titles, eight drivers' titles and 120 grands prix. He was also instrumental in securing Max Verstappen's first title in 2021 after a radio conversation with race director Michael Masi triggered a fateful change to the safety car procedure. The Briton said such experiences had shaped him and would help in his new role, which he started in April. "The radio transcripts in Abu Dhabi showed the extreme competitive passion from all the teams and I can't begin to tell you what that feels like on the pitwall in a world championship life or death situation," he said. "There's a lot of people in my position in the sport who are intensely competitive. I've absolutely absorbed myself in that (at Red Bull) and I'm absorbing myself here. It really genuinely feels like my team already and I've only been here two months." Wheatley said the move to principal felt "entirely natural" and, unlike that from Renault to Red Bull, had involved no agonising. Red Bull had the most dominant season in Formula One history in 2023, winning 21 of 22 races, but were then in the firing line. Team boss Christian Horner faced allegations, of which he was cleared, of improper conduct towards a female employee. Relations with Verstappen's father Jos soured and star designer Adrian Newey announced his departure for Aston Martin. Wheatley, who could have stayed, said his decision was all about future opportunity. "There was a huge amount of talented people in that team over the whole period I was there. I've learned from as many of them as I could... we knitted a team together there and we did something quite extraordinary. "I absolutely loved that initial stage of transforming a team and then I kind of wanted to do it again... the idea of coming to this team in this transition period at this point in history was enormously attractive to me." While former Ferrari team boss Mattia Binotto heads the Audi project, Wheatley is in charge at the track and plans to attend all the races. "It's going to take time, but where we're starting from is a good place," he said.

Boisson goes from crowdfunding to bumper pay day in Paris
PARIS, June 5 (Reuters) - French Open semi-finalist Lois Boisson will earn at least 690,000 euros ($789,636.00) from her fairytale run at Roland Garros which means the local favourite will no longer have to rely on crowdfunding in a bid to boost her finances. The French wild card came into the tournament having earned about 20,000 euros this year but even if she loses to American Coco Gauff in the semi-finals on Thursday, the world number 361 can expect endorsements and sponsorships to come flooding in. If Boisson beats the second-seeded American and reaches the final she will receive a cheque for 1,275,000 euros, while if the 22-year-old wins the title she will pocket 2,550,000 euros. Boisson started a crowdfunding campaign a year ago, asking for help to "get back to the highest level and make it to the four Grand Slams this year" after suffering a serious knee injury just before Roland Garros, where she got a wild card. Boisson received another invitation from the French tennis federation to play at the tournament again this year and has not disappointed, beating world number three Jessica Pegula and Russian prodigy Mirra Andreeva in the two previous rounds. Boisson only got 100 euros in crowdfunding in a year before that jumped above 1,000 just before the semi-finals but the talented youngster won't need to seek donations now. ($1 = 0.8738 euros)
