Jamie Redknapp drains big birdie at Alfred Dunhill Links Championship

Jamie Redknapp upstaged the professionals by holing an impressive putt during the opening round of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.

Redknapp, who plays off a handicap of four, has been a regular on the golf course in recent years and frequently appears in the tournament played across three courses in Scotland.

Highlights from the opening round in Scotland

The tournament has a unique format and has a team competition pairing European Tour players with celebrity golfers, with Redknapp partnered alongside Rikard Karlberg this week.

Beginning on the Old Course at St Andrews, the pair reached the turn in 31 and picked up a shot at the 12th before Redknapp found the green at the par-four next in two. 

The Sky Sports Football pundit had work to do and was still over 35 feet from the flag, but judged his birdie attempt perfectly to find the heart of the cup.
