KYLE STANLEY has refused to apologise for hitting Open rival Bob MacIntyre’s caddie’s mum with a wild shot that damaged her hand.
The warring pair who were playing together in the second round had a furious on-course bust-up after mum Stephanie was hit from Stanley’s drive off the 17th tee.
MacIntyre, 22, who is playing in his first Open, said the pair had some “harsh words” and the Scotsman insists Stanley did not shout fore to warn fans.
Stanley is now aware of the damage his shot did but insists he feels no need to say sorry to Bob or Stephanie.
Asked if he will apologise, PGA Tour star Stanley said: “I won’t, no. Our discussion was brief.
“If his issue was with me not being the first person to say ‘fore,’ I mean, does he have a point? Does he not have a point? That’s up to him.
“All I know is after I hit the ball it wasn’t but a couple of seconds when several people on the tee box started shouting ‘fore.’
“I thought that was enough. My intention was to never do anything negative or put anybody in the gallery in harm’s way.”
Pressed on why he hasn’t said sorry, Stanley, who insists he always shouts when he hits offline, said: “Five or six people on the tee yelled ‘fore’. My caddie did, my two playing partners, a couple of the marshals. I thought that was enough.

“When you tell your story, you’ve got to make sure you have all the details.
“From what I read last night, he didn’t do that. He’s a young player. I’ve been out here a while. So I don’t feel the need to be schooled on the rules of golf or what to do when you hit a shot off line.”
