Top-ranked Scot Russell Knox confessed before tee-off he felt much akin to a 15-handicapper in tackling the famed Old Course at St. Andrews ahead of his maiden appearance in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.

McIntyre … ‘No, I Won’t Be Asking Justin Timerlake For A Selfie’.
When Bob McIntyre first contested the Alfred Dunhill Links in 2013 he was in awe in bumping into fellow Scot Richie Ramsay for a first occasion.
