Britain's Paul Casey recruited royalty to help find a lost ball during Saturday's wind-affected British Open third round ... to no avail.

Casey hit out of bounds on the first hole to get his day off to a bad start in the gale-force winds that swept Royal Birkdale before losing his ball off the tee at the long 15th.

Britain's Prince Andrew, a keen golf fan and a former captain of the Royal & Ancient Golf Club, tried to locate it but all efforts failed as the Ryder Cup player ran up a double-bogey seven.

"I got to where the spotter was and where we thought the ball was but we couldn't find it," Casey told reporters.

 

[The Dork Lord]

"The Duke of York was there and he said he'd hit a ball in there the other day. I said, "Did you find it sir?,' and he said "no".

 

[The Dork Lord]

"Clearly I'd hit it in the wrong place. We don't know whether it was in the bushes or the rough, a bit frustrating.".

Casey finished with a 73 for a 12-over total of 222.

Customers of bars that play loud music drink more quickly and in fewer gulps, French researchers said on Friday.

Their study, published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research, found that turning up the music spurred drinkers to down a glass of beer about three minutes more quickly.
