Robert MacIntyre has shot the bird once again — but this time on social media.
MacIntyre, who made waves at the Masters this year for sticking out his middle finger at Augusta National on Thursday, is seemingly not backing down from his antics, posting a wild AI-generated image of one of the iconic Masters gnomes flipping its middle finger to his Instagram story on Friday.
The image depicted MacIntyre dressed in what he wore during the first day of the tournament when he had his infamous meltdown.

The world No. 8 also was seen slamming his clubs on the 14 and 17, along with having multiple expletive-laden outbursts throughout the back nine.
He wound up finishing the day 8-over par and tied for 82nd, and stormed past the media who requested to speak with him.
Although the Masters does not publicly comment on disciplinary actions, The Scotsman reported that MacIntyre was reprimanded by tournament officials.

Similar to Thursday, MacIntyre fled Augusta National without speaking to reporters following the second round.
MacIntyre is known for his heated personality on the course, with a mic picking up him cursing at the Valero Texas Open last week.
Ahead of the Masters, MacIntyre acknolwdged his fiery antics, but affirmed that it’s simply his personality.
“I am trying to do my best out on the golf course,” he told The Scotsman. “I’m a sportsman and it is live sport. I’m going to react the way I want to react. I’m not going to change how I react because there is someone standing there or elsewhere.
“I am trying to do the best that I can and I will take my time after to go and sign autographs with kids and what not, but, when I am playing golf I am red-lining.”
