DP World Tour : Alfred Dunhill Links Championship
Due to continued adverse weather, the 2023 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship will be extended into Monday October 9. The format will remain the same, with the objective to play the third round over all three courses – the Old Course St Andrews, Carnoustie Golf Links and Kingsbarns Golf Links on Sunday October 8 – and the fourth round at the Old Course on Monday October 9.
Tournament Director Mikael Eriksson said: “We always have a number of contingencies in the case of adverse weather conditions, and on this occasion the decision has been made alongside the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship Committee to continue the tournament into Monday.
“We endeavor to play 72 holes if possible, and taking into consideration all factors, a Monday finished was deemed to be the preferred outcome. This will preserve the format of the tournament, with all competitors having the opportunity to play one round over each course, and the final round of both the Individual and Team events taking place at the Old Course after the third round cut.”
edit **** Aaron Cockerill failed to break par over 3 rounds at Kingsbarns, St Andrews and Carnoustie..
EDIT **** Sunday afternoon...Play has been abandoned for today due to the water.
The final round will be played on Monday October 9 and the tournament will be reduced to 54 holes. The top 30 teams and ties will make the 36-hole cut.
The 3rd Round will be a 2-tee start at St Andrews & Kingsbarns starting at 09:00 Monday morning. Round 3 at Carnoustie will be a shot-gun start at 11:30.
If, at 07:30 Monday morning, it is deemed that Carnoustie will not be playable at 11:30, there will be no play at any Course and a further announcement will be made.
Draw to follow.
