Andy Murray found himself at a spot that’s popular with many newly-retired folks this week: the golf course. The Scot, who officially said goodbye to tennis six weeks ago at the Paris Olympics, was one of the stars of a celebrity pro-am event ahead of the BMW PGA Championship, an event on the DP World Tour.
With his father William serving as his caddy, Murray was paired with fellow Scot Robert MacIntyre, who this year claimed his first PGA Tour win, England cricketer Jimmy Anderson, and Strictly Come Dancing judge Anton Du Beke for the pro-am, which kicked off the PGA European Tour tournament that officially began on Thursday at the Wentworth Club in Surrey.
Despite the group finishing 13 shots behind the leaders, silver medalist Tommy Fleetwood’s team that included actor Tom Holland and his brothers, Murray called the experience “brilliant” in more way than one, though he did confess that he “couldn’t really feel my arms and legs” at the start.
