Tom Daley, look out! Andrew ‘Beef’ Johnston makes late audition for Olympics diving team with epic running bomb

Bearded, meat-loving golfer should maybe target Tokyo 2020 rather than the Rio Games after this effort

Andrew 'Beef' Johnson

TOM DALEY better watch out - there's a Beef who can dive about.

Rio 2016 may come a bit early for Andrew 'Beef' Johnston, but he could definitely target Tokyo 2020 with this epic effort.

The fan favourite, who finished off a good season in the Majors with a tied-60th finish in the US PGA Championship, showed his special way of cooling off from the New Jersey heat.

Beef stripped down to his skimpy boxers and executed a decent running bomb after playing at Baltusrol.

He said, "What happens when you finish the US PGA and you want to cool down?" before launching himself off the board.

Johnston, from Barnet, exploded on the scene proper with his eighth place finish in the Open at Troon.

Fans warmed to his fuzzy beard, friendly attitude and refreshing style of play.

But not everyone has been pleased.

Animals rights campaigners Peta recently asked him to change his name to Andrew 'Tofu' Johnston - only for burger-loving Beef to say there was "no chance" of that happening.

American Jimmy Walker held off world No 1 Jason Day to claim his first Major in the season's final slam event.

But his running feud with US Open champion Dustin Johnson threatens to drive a wedge in the US Ryder Cup team come September.
