PETER ALLISS UNDER FIRE
Nick Dougherty reignites feud with veteran commentator
PETER ALLISS - accusation
NICK DOUGHERTY - blast
NICK DOUGHERTY has reignited his feud with golf commentator Peter Alliss by refusing to be interviewed by the BBC.
After his third round 67 left him eight shots back at the BMW PGA Championship he was asked into the BBC studio.
But the 27-year-old was overheard to say, "Not if he's there," in reference to Alliss. The veteran commentator, 78, said last year: "Golfers are so thin-skinned nowadays, it is quite extraordinary."
Nick Faldo protege Dougherty hit back: "Alliss was talking about us being bad putters.
"I don't know whether it's because he has been out of the game for so long but I didn't think it was right and he ought to show us more respect. I thought it was sad. In fact, I thought it was disgusting."

But you are a poor putter! Alliss was only speaking the truth so how can that be upsetting? You have said the same yourself & have changed equipment so many times you're now blaming that for a poor putting stroke!
