As the wind picks up at Royal Birkdale, the challenge for the players at The 146th Open is to control the ball flight and keep it low.

With that in mind, Nick Dougherty and Rich Beem headed to The Open Zone for a "golfing limbo contest" - how low can you go?

"I'm from Texas, we got low," a defiant Beem said as the pair readied themselves for the competition, although Dougherty, using Thomas Pieters' driving iron, was confident of coming out on top.

Beem was up first and was a little disappointed to see the tracker show the maximum height of his low stinger at 14.7 yards.
