The BBC apologises after golf commentator Peter Allis suffers criticism for making an allegedly sexist remark during coverage of The Open.

The BBC has apologised on behalf of golf commentator Peter Allis following his alleged sexist remark during coverage of The Open at St Andrews.

Just before Zach Johnson took a putt during Monday's playoff, the 84-year-old suggested what his wife Kim will want to spend the £1.8m prize money on.

Allis said: "That's Kim looking on, anxiously thinking, 'if this goes in, we've got a new kitchen'."

After receiving criticism for his comment on social media, a BBC spokeswoman said: "Peter made a light-hearted comment which was inappropriate and we apologise if anyone was offended."

Johnson missed the putt but went on to claim the Claret Jug in Scotland.
