Round 1 Highlights | Rory McIlroy, Robert MacIntyre | 2024 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship

Ah, Niklas Golsatz out of the commentary box onto the golf course where he belongs. He's a good player still, got a lot of golf left in him. Hits it a mile, second shot to 18 on the old course. Oh yeah, oh see I told you he's got plenty of golf left in him. He can't believe it. Has this for a birdie to go six under. Go on, run away. Run away, he did. So it's Fickart. John Rahm, that's saying a great thing, giving a lot of confidence. Rahm's second of the second, just a joy of joys, honing in on the flag. Sweetly struck. Perfect tee shot. The hang time on that, it just kept going, didn't it? Gerry McIlroy, good chip to get to here from where he was. Keeps the score guard going. I'll help you out son, don't you worry. Yeah, high floaty spinny one, you know it's going to grab. Does, two firm bounces then. Draws to a halt. Looks Ketker's partner. Oh yes sir, thank you very much. Putting up the slope here at the third. Previous two holes and that one's right in the middle. All the way, wasn't it? For John Rahm, loose to four under par. To the 11th on the old course and Sir Steve Redgrave, who has played in each and every one of these Alfred Dunhill Links championships to date. He's going along very nicely with Dan Hillier. This for par net birdie. Hello. Look at that infinity green here at the fourth at Kings Barnes. It's a beautiful, beautiful spot. And he's got his eye in, you know, it's just quite incredible when these golfers just start getting their irons close and their putter going. Anything is possible. To five and Rory. Beautifully done. Risky tee shot. It's just four or five yards short of the little ditch, but reaps the reward of a slightly risky tee shot. Oh Jay, this is just magnificentio. Miles down. They got a forward bounce. That's 300 and something plus. Little upslope to give him a chance to get at the flag. Stroke to this one 40 years ago. Yeah, well done, Dad. The ball just gets in the way of Jerry's two swishes, isn't it? Either side of the ball. Very good swing. The sweet. Another former Alfred Dunhill Links champion back here. Wonderful. So this is an eagle putt to move it to nine under within one of thick art at the top. I couldn't see the hole. It was just trickling. I thought, oh, and it just disappeared. Playing with Matthew Jordan. This is a Piers Morgan. For par net birdie at the par 5 14th. Nicely done. Absolutely loves playing. Don't leave me. He's a shot. Surely, surely, surely not. Jerry, what a shot. Bring a smile to his face. Very nearly like father, like son. I love this par 3 the 8th OB on the left hand side. The flags way right here, though. It's not easy to get to. Also, that should turn a little bit. Yeah, he's just a magnificent butter from distance. It's all Cody Mark Fulcher. He cut it for me. He said to me, he's the best long butter. He's ever he's ever seen in the game. So some act like that. It's a great skill to have. Oh, it's when he needed a cry of bingo. He gets one player percentage shot. You're going to go straight at it. Pretty good club down trying to hit as hard as he could. So you can get it high and soft as he could. It landed softly. Wait, Catherine Newton. Ambassador trying to take the game of golf around the world. Good player in her own right. And a good part there. Excellent. Playing with Alex Fitzpatrick. Downhill all the way. Sit, grab a chair. For a 4 net 3 in that birdie. Actually, you've seen his game. Jerry's game approve as the round's gone on. A bit more clever. Well, take him around in 69. Good steady round of golf. That spark he sometimes has. But it's Carnoustie. Break 70. You move on. What a great way to finish. But a very enjoyable day. I'm sure playing with his lad. Alongside the tournament host. All smiles. And that's what it's all about. A chance here at the third. Carnoustie. Fans out there, the McIntyres. Back to back birdies. The team moved to five under. On the course, Larry McIntyre. It's a birdie for Shane. Up the hill. A little bit of right to left in it. All the way. Similar humor, Dominic Willett. For birdie on nine. In you go. Danny Willett. Excellent finish to his round. Mathieu Pavon is over at Carnoustie. He's got an eagle putt at the sixth. Gosh, that's two good blows, isn't it? To get it home there, Jamie. Yeah, two big hits. And oh, yes, indeedy. All right, back over to the old course. And Jamie Redknapp. How about this tee shot, gents? There's a sky dish on the side of the hotel. And I reckon six out of the 18 times that I've played here, I've hit that sky dish. Good accuracy. Yeah, consistent. Do you both play with a particular shape or not? Do you tend to play with a fade, a draw? Or are you happy shading it both ways? Or do you just hit and hope? Michael's doesn't get far enough off the ground to shape. But I like a fade, yeah. So this hole suits me. It's a nice drive. It's a weird one because obviously you're picking a letter on the hotel to go over. So you don't know if it's actually any good. You've just got to really trust it. The first few times I played it, it was hard to commit to that sort of shot. 17 tee for Gareth Bale. Perfect. Should come back the other way there. That's a long way down there. Receives one stroke. A darn good player is Bale. A nice angle to the flag as well. Pin a decent distance above the Valley of Sin. A little bit of landing there. It's bound to skid once. Nicely done. Matt Southgate. Now he does need a week. He's had a poor season. But he's been hovering under the radar really, Southgate. Oh, that helps. Doesn't that help? Eight under. We're just the last to play. To watch another DP World Tour video, click here. And to subscribe, click here.
