Heat on golf rules official after 'ill-judged' speech

An official at the rules and development body for golf, the R&A official is likely to come under increasing pressure to resign from the organisation’s rules committee after a number of people were offended by comments he made in an after-dinner speech during this week’s Open at Carnoustie.

Graham Brown, a member of last year’s Open venue Hoylake, spoke at the Association of Golf Writers (AGW) annual dinner.
