Andy Murray handed brutal golf wager by former rival after ‘constructive criticism’ blast
ANDY MURRAY was challenged to a round of golf by one of his former tennis rivals after the Brit received “constructive criticism” from fans.
Tennis legend Murray, 37, was one of a host of celebrity names that competed in the Wentworth celebrity Pro-Am on Wednesday. The Scot, who retired from tennis at the Paris Olympic Games last month, played alongside Scottish golfer Bob MacIntyre in the curtain-raiser for the BMW PGA Championship.
Murray, who was seen nailing a putt at the pro-am in Surrey, took to social media after his performance as he responded to those pointing out the flaws in his game.
Speaking on X, he said: “Huge thanks to all the amateur golfers on social media for their constructive criticism of my golf swing.
“Much appreciated 😅.”
This post sparked a reply from former US tennis player Mardy Fish – who reached three Grand Slam quarter-finals and a career-high ranking of world No7.
He replied: “Hey Andy, Mardy Fish here…
“I’ll play you for all the prize money I lost when you beat me on the tennis court. Deal?”
Murray and Fish played nine times before the latter retired back in 2015.
