Previously on “CSI: Troon”, a succession of males wearing breathable fabrics have been stiffed by a silent killer. Known only as “The Railway”, balls go into the thorns and they don’t come out. On Sunday lunchtime another unwitting individual appears to have walked into the trap, a golfer going by the street name of “Rahmbo”. An investigation is being conducted, but the outcome is contested. It looks like another case for Chief Inspector Gorse.
After a prolonged period of deliberation, the inquiry was duly wrapped up. The scene was cleared, the ball dropped and Jon Rahm resumed his round. But the damage had been done and “The Railway” – Royal Troon’s notoriously tricky 11th hole – claimed another victim. What had begun the day as an insurgent charge up the leaderboard stalled a few shots short of the summit.
