European Tour Alfred Dunhill Links Championship leaderboard http://www.europeantour.com/europeantour/season=2017/tournamentid=2017082/leaderboard/index.html#/leaderboard
With the Presidents Cup away in the rear view mirror, the 2017 season on the European Tour continues this week at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship over 3 classic courses, Old Course, St Andrews, Carnoustie and the new zillion dollar baby Kingbarns, all along the Firth of Forth.
It is the ultimate European Pro-Am, with anyone who is anyone joining an elite field headlined by a struggling Rory McIlroy, who's 'Am partner is his father.
If you ever wondered what it would cost you in Green Fees to play these three in what would be your golfing trip of a lifetime here are the numbers in peak season and as you can see, they are still relatively inexpensive compared to legendary USA courses like Pebble Beach.
Old Course : $ 230.00 (US) Caddie : $65.00 (US) plus tip
Carnoustie : $ 230.00 (US) Caddie : $65.00 (US) plus tip
Kingsbarns : $ 315.00 (US) Caddie : $72.00 (US) plus tip
Now if you think that's expensive consider this.
Pebble Beach : $565.00 (US) Caddie : $90.00 (US) plus tip.
What would you pick, PB in all it's glory or for $330 dollars less, the Old Course at St Andrews.???
In this perspective, two of the world of golf's most historic courses, the home of the game are a steal compared to the Monterrey Peninsula !!
Round 2 is well under way, and the weather is cool, but the wind is down right now and Paul Dunne the young Irishman who won last weekend at the British Masters is tied for the lead at -9 along with Swede, Joakim Lagergren and England's Tyrrell Hatton, the defending champion.
This event has a 3rd round cut, and Rory McIlroy will need it to stick around for Sunday, he is at +2 today playing Carnoustie after an opening 73, so 11 shots off the lead.
