Andy Murray turned to jelly for dream Bob MacIntyre Pro-Am pairing as Du Beke leaves tennis legend in stitches

Anxious Andy Murray told how he was panicking he would pelt a spectator with his golf ball due to his nerves jangling during his Celebrity Pro-Am appearance at the BMW PGA.

The Dunblane tennis superstar teamed up with fellow Scot and Ryder Cup star Bob MacIntyre, Jimmy Anderson and Anton Du Beke - the former Strictly Come Dancing partner of his mum Judy. And after a nervy start, the three-time Grand Slam champion and seven-handicapper found his game on the West Course. He was hitting his drives over 250 yards and made two impressive sand saves.

Murray said: “I couldn't really feel my arms and legs. It was good. A brilliant experience for me. To be out there with one of the best in the world for me, it was brilliant. I was pretty nervous. I couldn't really feel my arms and legs. I didn't really hit any balls on the range beforehand. Yeah, I was feeling it. But it got better. It got better as the round went on. It's a different sort of nerves from Wimbledon because you are comfortable in the tennis environment.

"I'm not thinking I'm going to walk out on the tennis court and forget how to hit the ball. You just, you want to perform well. Whereas here, you're sort of nervous about -- there's people standing like five metres away from where I'm driving, and I'm like, I'm useless at this game. Yeah, you just want to try and keep the ball in play and don't mess up too much.”

On a cool morning, Murray’s group got under way on the 18th tee on the 8am shotgun start. Dressed in the golf kit of his company Castore, the Scot donned a green shirt with white underlayer.

Murray’s opening drive - ‘“a runner” he called it - careered into a greenside bunker. DuBeke’s carved shot hit a spectator who received a hug as compensation. Murray
