Fair play to top golfer Tommy Fleetwood. Not only is he willing to go around with the shaggiest barnet a golf club’s seen since Miguel Angel Jimenez was in his cigar-puffing pomp, but he only went and threw the proverbial golfing gauntlet down to Sir Harold Kane, England and Tottenham goal-scorer extraordinaire.

Paddy drew up the most devilishly difficult set of golfing challenges he could think of ahead of the much-anticipated shootout and, well, it’s fair to say we saw who the real pros and amateurs were.

Depends how many shots you’re giving me! 👀 Look forward to it.

He replied: “Depends how many shots you’re giving me! Look forward to it.”

But did the Spurs star need a helping hand? Or was Fleetwood firing when the two faced-off on course?
