The continued heavy rain in Scotland has caused further disruption at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship with play abandoned on Sunday.

The third round was originally scheduled to be played on the Old Course at St Andrews, Carnoustie Golf Links and Kingsbarns Golf Links on Saturday, but that was washed out and the courses remained waterlogged on Sunday.

As a result, the third and final round will now be played on Monday – weather permitting – with the top-30 teams and ties making the 36-hole cut.

The DP World Tour released a statement on social media platform X on Sunday morning which read: “Play has been abandoned for today due to the waterlogged courses.”

Day two had seen Ryder Cup star Matt Fitzpatrick shoot an eight-under 64 to take a one-stroke lead in the tournament.
