Birdie bonanza at Old Course; Dunne not the only amateur in contention

Low scoring was the order of the day as the early starters took advantage of an almost defenceless Old Course at St Andrews in the 144th Open.

Torrential rain on Friday and winds gusting up to 45 miles per hour on Saturday had resulted in a Monday finish for just the second time in championship history, but conditions were ideal for the delayed final round.
