Hello, it's Martin Dempster, the Scotsman Golf Correspondent here, coming to you from
00:06
Wentworth Club venue for this week's BMW PGA Championship. It's the 20th edition of this
00:16
event with BMW as the sponsor. It's been pro-am today and massive crowds out on the west course
00:26
to take in this event. Staggering really, but all down to this particular pro-am being a celebrity
00:35
event and on this occasion one of the star attractions was Scotland's Andy Murray. Now
00:44
retired from tennis of course, Andy has decided to start playing a bit more golf. He played when
00:51
he was younger, didn't play a lot when he was playing tennis. He's off a seven handicap and
00:58
his aim is to get down to scratch. Playing alongside compatriot Bob McIntyre in a group
01:04
that also included retired England cricketer Jimmy Anderson and the Strictly Come Dancing
01:11
judge Anton Debeck, Murray certainly impressed out there today. Maybe got off to a slow start,
01:19
feeling the nerves as he admitted afterwards, but he's certainly got an impressive golf game,
01:25
a very good short game and latterly in the round he was certainly hitting some great drives.
01:32
According to McIntyre he says that Andy will achieve his aim of getting down to scratch in
01:39
no time. The main event, a Rolex series event worth nine million dollars gets underway on
01:47
Thursday. We've got eight Scots in the field led by McIntyre, winner of the Genesis Scottish Open,
01:55
another Rolex series event earlier in the year. Wentworth, always one of the great venues in
02:02
European golf. BMW PGA Championship, one of the iconic events and another fantastic four days
02:11
lie ahead. To keep up to date with everything in the golf world log on to Scotsman.com or buy the Scotsman.
