Alfred Dunhill Links Championship third round delayed until Sunday by high winds

The third round of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship will take place on Sunday after play was cancelled due to high winds on day three.

After Friday’s brutal weather conditions in Scotland led to a suspension of the second round in the late afternoon, those with holes still to finish returned to the week’s three host courses – the Old Course at St Andrews, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns – on Saturday morning.

Round three then got under way in the early afternoon but no-one managed to complete more than two holes before play was suspended.

Tournament organisers later announced that no further play would be possible on Saturday, with the third round now set to commence on Sunday morning as a two-tee start at all three venues.

Home favourite Robert MacIntyre and South Africa’s Richard Sterne remain the men to catch at the top of the leaderboard on 12 under par.
