Connor Syme senses an added pressure representing the Home of Golf as Bob MacIntyre sets the benchmark. The Fifer says it's back to work after the highs of his KLM Open win and he's aiming for a big week at The Renaissance. Syme is amongst six Tartan stars looking to deliver at the Genesis Scottish Open and emulate MacIntyre’s success of 12 months ago. The 29-year-old knows there is always a degree of expectation on Scots stars as he addressed the current position of the game in his country. Syme stated: “I guess we are probably kind of getting it back. Certainly, when I was coming through amateur golf, the talent that we have in Scotland for whatever reason didn’t end up making it on Tour, certainly, at that point. “I think a few of those guys probably still could do it, but, from my age group growing up, there’s quite a lot of us have managed to get on Tour and have won, which is awesome. “I think we’re all pushing each other on where we can all get to, who knows. Obviously, with the Home of Golf, it definitely carries its pressures and stuff with that about trying to live up to that. “Bob is doing absolutely brilliantly and we are all trying to get, hopefully, to where he gets to. Growing up playing golf with him, you always had that kind of tenacity and willingness to do really, really well in tournaments. He’s always won big tournaments growing up. “It’s not that surprising, but seeing him actually going and doing it is really impressive and the results he’s had here, certainly, the last couple years, he basically won it two years in a row, barring Rory [McIlroy] finishing the way he did a couple years ago. “It shows it’s possible and he’s doing just absolutely brilliantly, and it is really good to see. Obviously, I watched all the US Open and he looked like the guy that was going to win it. It’s very inspiring.” Syme wants a MacIntyre moment at Renaissance and continued: “Even when I won in Holland, it was like taking you back as a kid to when you’re put to go try and win tournaments. For us, being Scottish, they are the ones you think about more, The Open, The Scottish Open, the Masters, they are the stuff you dream about. “Obviously, having got a win, it’s definitely given me a lot of belief that I can do that. That is a dream to have that sort of moment. But you’ve got to play so much golf to get to that point and that’s the kind of work we’re doing out there, to try and make moments like that possible.” As well as the trophy in East Lothian, there are three places available for The Open at Royal Portrush and Syme is determined to return having featured in the 147th Championship at the venue six years ago. He said: “It would be awesome to go back. Looking at this as the last opportunity to try and get in, would be cool. But I was chatting to a few people about it. This is obviously such a massive tournament and that’s the dangling carrot, too. “But I’m trying to focus as well as I can and do as well as I can in this tournament and hopefully I can play well enough to tick off a lot of things. “The thing with golf, there’s always something, you always want something more. This is a great tournament. “I’m going to try my best to do as best I can here and, hopefully, I can get some nice rewards from that.”
