Gareth Bale sees DOG steal his ball at Alfred Dunhill Links Championship as pooch denies putting chance

Gareth Bale just can't escape the ruff at the Alfred Dunhill Links Pro Am after a DOG ran on and swiped the Welshman's ball.

Former Real Madrid and Tottenham star Bale is one of a number of big names who have taken to the tees at St Andrews. He's joined on the Old Course by the likes of Andy Murray, Ruud Gullit, Kevin Pietersen, Bill Murray and TV loudmouth Piers Morgan.

But it was a local furry friend that upstaged them all with a starring role. Bale was chipping onto the green from some sloped rough and played a decent shot, generating enough back spin to land his ball around six feet from the pin.

But just as he was making his way ro line up his putt, an excited dog went chasing after his ball, grabbed it and "helpfully" bounded back to return it to where it had just come from, sparking plenty of laughter from punters behind the ropes.

Thomas Tuchel was named England's new manager on Wednesday, with the German set to start in the role from January 1, 2025. The 51-year-old, who has been out of work since leaving Bayern Munich at the end of last season, succeeds Englishman Gareth Southgate as permanent coach and becomes the third foreign manager of the Three Lions after Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello. A former coach of Chelsea, Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich, Tuchel has the trophy-winning pedigree that the FA is seeking to help end a 58-year wait to win a major tournament. However, the move has drawn criticism over the FA's unwillingness to trust an Englishman with its top job.
