Beaming Beem banishes Carnoustie demons

YOU might have thought that the last place Rich Beem would want to be is Carnoustie.

After all, it was here a few days prior to the 1999 Open Championship that he was convicted of drunken driving, fined £450 (€658) and suspended for eighteen months.

He then went on to shoot 81 and 80 to quickly bow out of the tournament.
