‘Many more to come!’ Andy Murray bags first trophy since golf switch

The 37-year-old bowed out at the Olympic Games from a hall-of-fame career that saw him bag three Grand Slam titles and reach World No.1 in an era that included the three best players to ever pick up a racquet. Then he turned his attentions to golf, with the initial aim of getting down to scratch.

And it didn’t take long for him to lift his first trophy on the course.
