Andy has no beef with Beef

THESE days he’s probably Andrew only to his mum. To the rest of us he’s simply ‘Beef’.

But the unassuming Andrew Johnston the boy from a London council estate – wouldn’t have it any other way.

In this, his second US Open, he looks on course to better his tied 54th place on his debut at Oakmont this time last year.

“I get called Andrew now and then, although mostly it’s sarcastic when that happens,” Beef said.

“But if they look at me and see Beef the fun person, that’s cool.

“If they come to see Beef play golf then great, as long as people are having a good time and I’m playing well I’m happy. It’s a positive thing.”
