Robert MacIntyre is a professional golfer from Scotland.

He came to play in a big golf tournament in Memphis.

But his first day on the course went very badly.

He finished the round with a score of 82, which means he played 12 shots more than the course expected.

It was the worst round he has ever had on the PGA Tour.

The weather was extremely hot, with the heat feeling like it was above 100 degrees.

On top of that, his knee was hurting.

So he decided to stop playing in the tournament before the second round.

Even though he left early, he still has a chance to play in other important competitions coming up soon.

Hopefully his knee will feel better by then.
