Matthew Jordan recorded a seven‑under 65 at Carnoustie on Sunday, propelling him into a four‑way tie for second place at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, according to the Independent.
Jordan, playing his 183rd DP World Tour event, said the constant "sledging" from his amateur partner, presenter Piers Morgan, was "incredible" and often stole the spotlight, even when he made a good shot. He also recounted an incident where Morgan teased teammate Peter Jones after a missed putt.
South African Casey Jarvis led after a 67 at Kingsbarns, while Spaniard Rocco Repetto Taylor posted an eight‑under 64 at the same venue. Defending champion Bob MacIntyre sat at eight under, and former major winner Brooks Koepka was level with him after a 67.
