Alex Hay

5 October 1933 - 11 July 2011

Sports Commentator

With analysis delivered in a gentle Scots burr, former player Hay became an integral part of the BBC’s golf coverage after joining Peter Allis and the team for the 1978 Open Championship. He went on to report from various tournaments around the world, and the biennial Ryder Cup, until 2002.
