It’s fair to say the crowd heckles at this week’s Dunhill Links on the DP World Tour are a little different to the ones experienced by Rory McIlroy and the rest of Team Europe at the Ryder Cup at Bethpage last week.
A week after Luke Donald’s Europeans were subjected to some of the worst verbal abuse and insults in Ryder Cup history, especially McIlroy and his wife Erica, a hilarious video has emerged of tennis ace Sir Andy Murray being heckled by a dog at Kingsbarns.
The moment was captured by golf content creator Hannah Holden during the second round of the Dunhill Links Championship.
