The tennis legend teamed up with fellow Scot Bob MacIntyre for the Celebrity Pro-Am tournament
Anxious Andy Murray told how he was panicking he would pelt a spectator with his golf ball due to his nerves jangling during his Celebrity Pro-Am appearance at the BMW PGA.
"I'm not thinking I'm going to walk out on the tennis court and forget how to hit the ball. You just, you want to perform well. Whereas here, you're sort of nervous about -- there's people standing like five metres away from where I'm driving, and I'm like, I'm useless at this game. Yeah, you just want to try and keep the ball in play and don't mess up too much.
Then onto the first tee in front of the clubhouse where a grandstand was packed in eager anticipation. Murray’s practice swings where met with Ryder Cup-style cheers in rhythm - and there was the inevitable cheer of: “C’mon Tim!” “Obviously it's never going to replace what you had on the tennis court, but being out there with your friends and competing with them and against yourself and stuff is fun. You hit enough bad shots in golf, you've got to give yourself a pat on the back when you hit the odd good one.”
Murray topped his tee shot on the seventh tee and cried out: “No!” And he found the water with his wedge playing into the eighth green. The low point was I had an approach shot over water about 85 yards," he grimaced. MacIntyre’s group finished 16th out of the 20 teams on 16-under par with Tommy Fleetwood’s team - playing with Tom Holland and the Hollywood’s star’s two brothers - won on 29-under par. The format was “Tour Scramble” the amateurs playing the best tee shot and then their own ball from there.
