Scottie Scheffler learning from Bob MacIntyre as Scottish Open enthusiasm rubbing off on World No 1
Scottie Scheffler admits he's learning lessons from Bob MacIntyre.
The World No.1 and the Scot are paired together with Adam Scott on the opening two days at Renaissance.
Scheffler beat the defending champion by a shot in round one, but still picked up some links tips from the Oban star.
He said: 'It's always fun playing with Bob. He's a great guy. I feel like I learn some stuff from him out there. It was a good day. Bob was definitely the crowd favourite, but I felt like the crowd did a great job of supporting all three of us and it was a fun day.'
Padriag Harrington played alongside Scots star Calum Hill and he also had good things to say about the local crowds who packed the place. The Irish legend explained: 'They do get a great crowd here, full stop. Obviously the weather is bringing them as well. People are enjoying themselves.
'There's a buzz around the place, you see people eating ice creams and things. It's a nice atmosphere. It's a really good. It's nice when people are out there feeling like a festival and enjoying it and that's the way The Scottish Open should be.
'The weather adds a lot to it. The people come out, but if it's a miserable day, people are miserable. It's sunny, people are out there enjoying it.
"The claps are going up. The cheers are going up. Wherever you hit the golf ball, you can tell by the reaction of the crowd. It's the way we want to play golf, so it's nice to see it.
"As I said, whenever we come to these National Opens and the weather is good, the people come out and it really makes it all the more exciting for the players.'

Jamie Vardy handed Celtic transfer pitch as two deals reach endgame
Brendan Rodgers has openly admitted that he wants to add more firepower this summer Free agent Jamie Vardy has been urged to reunite with Brendan Rodgers at Celtic. The Leicester City hero is still searching for his next club after leaving the King Power Stadium to a close at the end of last season. The 38-year-old has been touted with a move to Italy while reports also suggest that Crystal Palace are set to offer the veteran a short-term deal this summer. But former England international Nigel Martyn reckons that there is "nothing better" than a link up with former Foxes' boss Rodgers for Vardy at this stage of the window. Speaking via Parimatch, Martyn said: " Jamie Vardy has been an unbelievable striker for Leicester City, hasn't he? I mean, his goals have been tremendous. "His game was initially based around his pace, but he's clever. There have been plenty of strikers who can boast unbelievable pace, but not as many who use their brain and time their runs as good as well as Vardy does. You don't see him caught offside very often at all. "He's been an incredible player for Leicester City. He'll want to keep going as long as he can. He comes across as the sort of player who looks like he loves doing what he's doing. "If you can find a former manager who enjoys working with you, like Brendan Rodgers in this case, then there's nothing better for a player. "It helps you feel secure. You're able to have the honest conversations around how much match time you'll be actually getting and that type of thing. "I have no doubt that Jamie Vardy will be a threat to anyone up in Scotland if he joins Celtic. He can start games one week and play up to 60 minutes, and the next week he could come off the bench and make an impact. "As a centre-half, the last thing you want to see after playing 70 minutes is somebody like Jamie Vardy and his pace come on to the pitch." Giuseppe Ambrosino has also been touted with a move to Celtic on loan from Napoli - but the Italian Under-21 youth international looks set to remain with the Scudetto winners. Amid interest from the Hoops and Serie A rivals Cremonese, boss Antonio Conte has opened up on the future of the 23-year-old striker. He said: "Ambrosino has joined us now, he has good prospects, we need to understand what's best for him, where to play or have him stay with us and grow humbly behind Lukaku and Lucca, also because I want to talk to the players about these decisions. They need to be convinced." Norwegian winger Sondre Orjasaeter had been on Celtic 's radar - but has now completed a move to FC Twente from Sarpsborg. Celtic previously saw a £4.4million offer turfed out for the 21-year-old with the Eredivise side sealing a deal for £5million which could rise to £7million with add-ons. After sealing the move, Orjasaeter said: "It feels really good to be here. I have already had many good impressions of FC Twente. "I had heard a lot about the club and the supporters beforehand, and I am looking forward to playing in this fantastic stadium in front of so many fans."
