Photos: Brutal weather conditions challenge the players at St. Andrews, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns

Playing golf in this weather doesn’t look like a good time.

The Alfred Dunhill Links is one of the best events on the DP World Tour schedule. Players rotate between three courses for the first three days — the Old Course, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns — before the final round is played at St. Andrews.

Thursday’s conditions were built for low scores as the first-round leader was 11 under after 18 holes.

Friday, however, was a completely different story.

Weather was brutal on day two, as rain, wind and cold temperatures made for miserable conditions.

Billy Horschel and Matt Fitzpatrick, somehow, shot 1 under, while Richard Mansell leads by two thanks to a heroic 4-under Friday.

To be honest, playing golf didn’t even look enjoyable, regardless of the courses the field was playing.

Here are some photos from the Old Course, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns on day two of the Alfred Dunhill Links.
