Play on day 2 at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship has been suspended due to Storm Amy with Robert MacIntyre holding a share of the clubhouse lead. The 29-year-old faced brutal conditions on the Friday but performed admirably with seven birdies.
The tournament, played across three courses at St Andrews, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns, has arrived one week on from the 2025 Ryder Cup where Europe secured an incredible 15-13 victory of Team USA with MacIntyre starring.
Scotland’s leading golfer certainly got the better of elements on opening day with South Africa’s Richard Sterne joined MacIntyre also impressing as he claimed a share of the clubhouse lead at 12 under par. MacIntyre spoke about conditions at the close of play “It was almost a perfect round of golf, especially once the weather came in, just a lovely round,” said MacIntyre.
“It’s difficult when it gets this windy. It’s hard to hit the ball good with the wind. “I was having to try and fight the wind on certain holes and wasn’t comfortable. But I made some beautiful shots. Yeah, putted solidly in the wind.”
