A PESKY canine brought play to a standstill as it ran onto the golf course and stole former Ryder Cup star Paul Casey's ball on the 12th green at Kingsbarns Golf Links.
The dog's antics sparked laughter from the player and spectators at the pro-am Alfred Dunhill Links Championship as it crossed the green and made off with Casey's golf ball in its mouth.
The tournament is also being played on courses at St Andrews and Carnoustie, where model Elizabeth Hurley and fiance, former Australian cricketer Shane Warne, made an appearance yesterday. The pair were all smiles as Warne stepped out for his game at the tournament, where the couple announced their engagement last year.
Lost in Translation star Bill Murray is also among this year's celebrity competitors in the championship which has previously pulled in Hollywood stars including Hugh Grant and Samuel L Jackson.
The competition will finish tomorrow at the Old Course at St Andrews.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
