Brad’s special outing with popular star

-

Perthshire’s European Tour golfer Bradley Neil enjoyed an “incredible” final round in Spain with Andrew ‘Beef’ Johnston.

The Blairgowri­e profession­al teed-up alongside the popular Englishman at the Open de Espana on Sunday.

Bradley was positioned nicely on 11-under-par after three rounds but a closing 77 dropped him to 58th in the leaderboar­d.

Despite the disappoint­ment, the experience was another valuable one.

Bradley said: “Playing with Beef on the Sunday was incredible. To be in the same group as someone who’s getting a lot of attention was good to learn from.

“My thinking going into the last round was just to keep doing what I was doing.

“There was no need to change anything so that was my mindset. I had a total score in mind that I wanted to reach.

“It’s definitely getting there. Last week I got a good Saturday score in there. I’m constantly building experience­s.”

Bradley started at the Trophée Hassan II in Morocco yesterday and was playing in a group with Andrew Dodt and John Kelly.

Before teeing-off, Bradley told the PA: “I analysed last week, looked at the stats, talked to my coach and have come into this week in Morocco with a clear plan on what to improve.

“From what I saw of the course today (Tuesday), old man par is a good score. It’s going to be a grind out there.”
