The owner of a Carnoustie barbers has said he is delighted with the publicity surrounding his shop after Jordan Spieth’s “high and tight haircut”.
The American superstar joked with reporters at his press conference on Saturday after going under the clippers at Magic Barbers on Carnoustie High Street earlier that day.
The 24-year-old said: “My hair had got a little long and I needed to get a haircut so I did this morning. £20, I think. It was a £9 haircut, but I tipped him.
“He went a little high and tight. It was intended to be what I normally get but instead he went a little shorter.
“It’s a very British haircut. Shaved on the sides, a little longer on top. But it is what it is.”
Despite being one of the top golfers in the world, not to mention the 2017 Open Champion, the barbers did not recognise Spieth.
Owner Zana Yousef, 29, said: “We have been very surprised.
“My friend cut his hair. There was someone else in the shop at the same time and we didn’t know who he was.
“There have been people asking about it.
“It’s good publicity for the shop.”
