Andy Murray has taken up golf and already claimed his first silverware.
Tennis legend Andy Murray has continued his class in another sport - picking up his first trophy in his new game of choice since retiring from tennis earlier this year.
But it now also reads, "I now play golf" and after transferring his competitive nature from the tennis court to the golf course, he is aiming to get his handicap down to scratch within a few years. It was started in memory of former Daily Mail journalist Mike Dickson, who passed away in January aged 59. The post by the BTJA on Twitter revealed that Murray had been crowned champion, which is no surprise given his prowess off the tee already.
Murray has a handicap of seven at the moment, but is having regular lessons and MacIntyre thinks he’ll improve rapidly. Last month, World No 16 MacIntyre said: "For someone that’s not really played that much, I thought he was good. "You just want to try and keep the ball in play and don’t mess up too much. I'm obviously getting to practise a lot more than the average person.
