Watching the Masters tonight, I was wondering if anyone knows what happened to Alex Hay? His partnership with Peter Alliss was fantastic. He hasn't been in any BBC golf coverage for a while though. Retired?

From what I heard he was effectively forced out of the commentary team last Autumn to make way for Sam Torrance and Wayne Grady. I believe it was all rather bitter and acrimonious.

Seems like a very poor way to have treated someone who had given such fabulous service over so many years. I, too, will miss his interactions with Peter Alliss
