WATCH: Scottish Open golfer gets honorary Inverness membership

Local club awards honorary membership to Scottish Open home favourite Russell Knox

Published 8th Jul 2016

Inverness Golf Club has awarded honorary membership to the Scottish Open's home favourite Russell Knox. The 31-year-old spoke to MFR News last night at the Culcabock course where he's previously won the club's four-day open championships three-times.

After 0830 this morning the World Number 27 tees off following yesterday's level par finish at Castle Stuart, three-strokes off the joint lead.

It took Knox five-hours to complete the first round after fierce winds exhausted the golfer.

The player dropped a stroke at the 18th hole which he insists is laid out wrong.
