Rain-soaked Alfred Dunhill links championship extends to thrilling Monday finish
Posted : 08 October 2023
The Alfred Dunhill Links Championship faced an unexpected twist as it transformed into a thrilling three-day spectacle due to relentless rain that left all three renowned courses unplayable for two consecutive days.
This DP World Tour event, originally slated to span Kingsbarns, Carnoustie, and St Andrews courses, found itself at the mercy of the inclement weather. Saturday witnessed no action, and Sunday revealed stubborn waterlogged areas on the courses, forcing a rescheduling of the third and ultimately concluding round to Monday.
In this captivating contest, England's Matt Fitzpatrick emerges as the leader, wielding a one-shot advantage with an impressive 13-under par performance, closely pursued by Scotland's Grant Forrest and Spain's Nacho Elvira.
Meanwhile, the English duo of Marcus Armitage and Matthew Southgate, standing two strokes behind, add their own electrifying dimension to the competition.
While the professionals showcase their prowess on the greens, the pro-am component of the championship unravels a story of its own. Fitzpatrick, in tandem with his mother Susan, holds a close second place, trailing behind the duo of Julien Guerrier and Stephane Connery by just one shot.
As the championship navigates this unexpected turn, the suspense and anticipation among golf enthusiasts remain palpable, setting the stage for a dramatic conclusion on Monday.
