Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Euan McIntosh, who is flying the Saltire in the Legends Tour\u2019s season-ending MCB Tour Championship on the Indian Ocean island, has Alan Tait on his bag at the Constance Belle Mare Plage Resort.<\/p>\n

The pair first met when they went head-to-head as 16-year-olds in the final of the 1986 Scottish Boys\u2019 Championship at Dunbar, where Tait came out on top.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe never spoke much that day at Dunbar,\u201d said Tait, laughing.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, shortly after, we were foursomes partners for Scotland in the European Boys\u2019 Team Championship in Turin and that was really the start of our great friendship.
\n<\/a>Helped by a breakthrough win in Austria earlier in the season, McIntosh heads into the season finale sitting sixth in the Order of Merit points table.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t wait,\u201d said Tait of being on his compatriot\u2019s bag. \u201cThe wee man has had an amazing rookie season and I couldn\u2019t be more proud of him, especially given the fact he more or less gave up the game for 13 or 14 years.<\/p>\n

His comeback to playing elite professional golf has been nothing short of remarkable. I\u2019m not sure people appreciate just how hard he has worked and situations he\u2019s had to overcome to get himself into this position.<\/p>\n

<\/a>\u201cHe so deserves this and, knowing Euan like I do, this is just the beginning. There is so much more to come from him over the next few years. \u201d Tait is desperate for his friend to do well, adding.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve told Euan I\u2019m not coming out for a holiday and I\u2019ll be working hard to make sure I\u2019m there for him every step of the way.<\/p>\n

However Euan\u2019s reply was \u2018if you\u2019re not having a few beers at night big man, then you\u2019re not coming!\u2019 \u201cHe knows me so well. \u201d Hide Ad<\/p>\n

Paul Lawrie, a two-time winner this season, sits third behind South African James Kingston, Brazil\u2019s Adilson da Silva and Welshman Philip Price in the points list.<\/p>\n

However, the Aberdonian isn\u2019t teeing up in a field that includes winning Ryder Cup captains Paul McGinley and Thomas Bjorn after bringing the curtain down on his 2022 campaign in the Seychelles last week.<\/p>\n
