When a tour player’s equipment goes missing days before a tournament – and a week before one of the season’s four Majors – you can understand them being annoyed.
That’s exactly the predicament J.B. Holmes finds himself in on his visit to Scotland.
Holmes, across the pond for this week’s Scottish Open at Castle Stuart Golf Links, arrived in Inverness to find his clubs were lost in the cross-Atlantic journey:
Just landed in Scotland for the Scottish Open and my clubs are missing… @United_Airline or @AerLingus I kind of need them this week…

Finally, they arrived:
Thank you to @EuropeanTour, the R&A, and #The ScottishOpen staff… Got them at 7:00 and off to practice @DBParsons pic.twitter.com/89aSClNeee
