Howard - impressed at the 1997 Open.

Scottish golfer Barclay Howard, diagnosed with leukaemia shortly after the 1997 Walker Cup match in America, has died at the age of 55.

Despite battling with alcoholism, Howard was one of the most feared and respected competitors on the amateur circuit for decades and even starred on the Open Championship stage at Troon 11 years ago.

He was on the leaderboard during an opening 70 and was the only amateur to survive the halfway cut.
