INTERNATIONAL rugby stars took to Gullane Golf Club this week for a unique challenge against two golf aces who are part of the Aberdeen Standard Investments Scottish Open.
Scotland caps Blair Kinghorn and Adam Hastings faced off against South African Dean Burmester and New Zealander Ryan Fox in a 'rugby vs golf' challenge.
Kinghorn and Hastings kicked rugby balls around the championship course, while Fox and Burmester got some practice in earlier this week, with the rugby stars coming out on top 2-1.
