Oban golfer Robert MacIntyre, who just failed to make the 132-man Theld for the Omega Dubai Desert Classic last week, took part in the two-round Mena Tour Omega Dubai Desert Classic Shootout at the Dubai Hills Golf Club instead.
The 22-year-old had to go straight on to the course without a practise round and this proved costly as he carded a one over par 73 in round one which featured five birdies and four bogies.
