Robert MacIntyre, Nathan Kimsey Share Lead Amid Harsh Alfred Dunhill Links Conditions

Robert MacIntyre, ranked ninth globally, delivered an impressive performance at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship under challenging windy and rainy conditions, shooting a six-under 66 to share the clubhouse lead at 12 under par. He began his round on the 10th tee and made several birdies, describing his round as "almost perfect" despite the difficulty of playing in strong wind. MacIntyre's resilience and skill were pivotal as he navigated the weather across the Kingsbarns and Old Course venues. Meanwhile, England's Nathan Kimsey made history by hitting nine consecutive birdies at the Old Course, becoming only the third player to do so in DP World Tour history, finishing the day five under par. The tournament features a competitive field of 168 players vying for a $5 million prize fund, with rounds continuing into Saturday. The event also attracts stars from other sports and entertainment, enhancing its profile and appeal.
