Just a week after Robert MacIntye was critical his Royal Portrush playing partner did not shout ‘fore’ and past Open winner Paul Lawrie was lamenting the same.

Lawrie said he was “gutted” after his failure to shout fore resulted in his ball hitting a marshal during his second round at the Senior Open.

The incident happened at the par-four 10th in round two at Royal Lytham & St. Annes host course.

Lawrie said:  “I always shout so feel awful.

“We all thought it was way over his head but it was my ball and my responsibility so no excuses. Was a misjudgement on my part. Gutted.

“Hope he’s OK and will send him some goodies in the post.”

Lawrie took to Twitter to reveal the incident but there is no indication if the marshall was seriously injuryed.

Lawrie – one of six Scots in the field – carded a one-under 69 to sit one under at the halfway stage in his debut Senior Open.

Among those is Colin Montgomerie with rounds of 68 and 70 to be sharing seventh place at two-under and six adrift of American Wes Short Jnr.
