There were some big scores across all three courses as players struggled to get to grips with the brutal weather.

“It was just the best attitude got you through the game, and today I was playing with somebody I get on really well with in Tyrrell [Hatton], and we just had a laugh.

“I’m soaked through. I’ve got water in my shoes. I just had to laugh all the way. I mean, it’s the way I play my best golf is with a smile on my face.”
