The Venezuelan finally managed to get things sorted and was on a flight to Glasgow, via Toronto, which touched down less than two hours before he was due to tee off with Tony Finau and Xander Schauffele.
He travelled from Glasgow to Carnoustie by helicopter, as you do when you’re a successful tour pro.

But just when Vegas, a three-time PGA Tour winner, though his luck was in, it turned out his golf clubs had not made it to Scotland.
It resulted in him and his caddie rushing around the practice ground putting together some Mizuno, Titleist and TaylorMade clubs for him to use.
