Andy Murray left Sky Sports commentators in awe by sinking a birdie from around 70 feet at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.
The three-time Grand Slam champion is currently trying his hand in the world of golf, after retiring from tennis last summer.
After picking up his first title at the BTJA Mike Dickson Golf Day last October, Murray has found himself back in action this week at St. Andrews.
And it was during Sunday’s play, partnered with Eddie Pepperell, when he showed his true potential on the greens and fairways.
Stepping up to putt on the par four 13th hole of the course, not many in attendance or watching around the world will have expected him to sink the ball for birdie given the distance from the hole.
But that’s exactly what the legendary Scot did, calm and collected as he sent the ball on its way with a good thwack, before watching it roll into the cup with pace. Speaking ahead of the putt, Sky Sports commentator Dominik Holyer said: “Gosh, this must be 70, 80 feet or so on the 13th.”

After the ball found the cup, Holyer and his co-commentator stayed silent in awe for a moment or two, before he added: “He has holed some terrific putts out there this week.

“I know he’s been a bit squiffy at times, but that’s another one for the team – he and Eddie Pepperell.”
It’s been a strange weekend at the tournament, with play being called off altogether on Saturday after just 20 minutes due to 60mph winds from Storm Amy.
The entirety of the 164-player field, and the same amount of pro-am competitors – including Murray – were all out on the three courses following a rare shotgun start.
However, they were taken off when the play was suspended, with balls moving by themselves on the greens. Tournament organisers confirmed in a statement on Saturday afternoon: “All golf played over the three courses on Saturday, 4 October has been cancelled.
“The third round will be played on Sunday, 5 October as a two-tee start, over all three courses between 09:00 – 11.23.”
It comes after Murray left fans reeling with a mis-struck shot on Friday, on the fourth hole at Kingsbarns. After finding a fairway bunker with a wayward tee shot, Murray was left with the task of a tough recovery from the sand.
However, things got far worse for the 38-year-old when he completely topped his ball after swinging at it, rolling to the right and remaining in the bunker. Murray responded to his effort by placing his hands on his knees while staring at the ground, before letting out a brief chuckle as spectators surrounding him also saw the funny side.
