However, disaster struck as the duo endured a nightmare time on the green.
Bairstow, who had been among the bookies' favourites to win a maiden DP World Tour title event, saw his game go off course with a major error at the end of his opening round.
The 26-year-old had noted down a five on the par-4 14th hole, when he had actually shot a seven after missing a fairway with his tee shot and forced to hit a provisional.
And having not found his original tee shot, the Englishman played a tap-in thinking he had made a bogey, a mistake neither of his playing partners had picked up either, when he actually made a triple bogey

He had headed into the scorers' tent believing he was one-over with a score of 73, but it was later revealed to him that he was actually three-over 75.
Bairstow then dropped another stinker with a double-bogey at the par-5 closing hole.
And less than 24 hours later, Hill was also ejected from the Championship after failing to hole out at the eighth - his penultimate shot of the day.
The two-time DP World Tour winner endured a frustrating afternoon in tough conditions as he finished round one on four-over courtesy of a torrid back nine holes on Thursday.

A bogey on par-5 on Friday gave way in the second round to a birdie on the par-4 15th - only for that to be immediately cancelled with a dropped shot attempt on the following par-3.
At six-over he then suffered another birdie-bogey before adding another bogey on the fourth.

His tournament then ended on hole 17 as Hill missed a par putt from inside nine feet - with the cut-off line being three-over. - before he decided to call it a day.
The duo won't collect anything from their efforts on Scotland's north-east coast either.
However, Hill is not likely to fall any lower than his current 26th rank in the Race to Dubai, while Bairstow is set to fall four places from 54 to 58.

Insiders reveal what Andy Carroll's family REALLY think about ex Lou Teasdale after pair's holiday drama & ‘toxic' split
The former England ace's ex-girlfriend broke her silence on claims her friends 'hate' Andy after bubbling tension behind closed doors NOT A KEEPER Insiders reveal what Andy Carroll's family REALLY think about ex Lou Teasdale after pair's holiday drama & 'toxic' split Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WHEN Andy Carroll's turbulent relationship with Lou Teasdale finally ended, there were more sighs of relief than shocked gasps from the footballer's loved ones. Ever since the breakdown of his two-year marriage to long-term partner Billi Mucklow, those close to the dad-of-five have secretly worried behind the scenes. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Andy Carroll with his ex Lou Teasdale Credit: instagram 5 Andy with his parents, ex Billi Mucklow and their three kids Credit: Instagram The couple's 'toxic' romance, pals say, took its toll on the ex Premier League striker - who's gone through one of the toughest years of his life yet. Despite the painful break-up, it's hoped this - and his recent return to England playing for Dagenham & Redbridge - will be the fresh start Andy needs to get back to being himself. An insider told The Sun: 'Behind all the glitz and glamour on social media, Andy's been really going through it. 'He was recently on a family holiday with Lou and his parents, talking about the future now he's back home in England. 'It's undeniable that Andy misses parts of how his life once was. "He's become dependent on Lou who has undoubtedly been there for him, but everyone can see they don't bring out the best in each other. 'It's been very toxic for a long time, which Andy's loved ones have seen first-hand. 'They've been worried about the dynamics of their relationship. They like Lou, but little things would often turn into big arguments. 'It came from a place of passionate, intense love, as there's so much deep feeling there between them, but ultimately it just doesn't work. 'Their fallouts in public would cause a scene. So much so, the police were even called out in Mykonos. 'Everyone who loves Andy just wants him to get back to himself, in a happy and more stable place.' Ex-England star Andy Carroll DUMPS Lou Teasdale after police quiz over boozy rows as he tells pals he's 'sick' of her Holiday drama The ex-couple got together weeks after he split from Towie star Billi, mum to three of his five kids, in summer 2024. But they called it quits two months after Andy was twice-quizzed by cops over drunken bust-ups with Lou on the Greek party island of Mykonos. He was warned after their first argument at a beachside restaurant, then taken to the police station after a second row at their hotel that evening. Andy was not arrested, and it is understood that no further action was taken. Yesterday, we told of their fiery break-up after their clashing lifestyles reached boiling point. Sources said teetotal Lou would prefer Andy to quit drinking - and hoped to work through their issues. 5 Andy poses with Lou Teasdale at his signing on a free transfer for non-league side Dagenham & Redbridge in July Credit: Ian Whittaker 5 The footballer is back playing in England after leaving France Credit: Getty She slapped down reports that her friends 'hated' Andy - insisting they had nothing but love for the former Newcastle footballer. 'Nasty and not true', said Lou - who counts pop star Harry Styles as a close pal - in a post on Instagram. The celebrity make-up artist was wiped off Andy's social media before news of their split broke. But she has kept loved-up snaps of them together on Instagram - even though he unfollowed her. Our source added: "Andy has been adamant that he just wants to focus on football and his kids. "But he still has so much love for Lou, so friends are worried they'll both be dragged back into the toxic relationship. "They're both taking time to work out their next steps. Andy needs to find what makes him truly content and happy."

Templegate's tips: ‘Impressive' 33-1 York Ebor outsider screams value plus 14-1 and 10-1 ante-post picks
It's one of the best festivals all year YOR WELCOME Templegate's tips: 'Impressive' 33-1 York Ebor outsider screams value plus 14-1 and 10-1 ante-post picks Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TEMPLEGATE has been in cracking form this season and can't wait to get stuck into the awesome four-day Ebor Festival at York. Here, he picks out three ante-post punts he's more than happy to back now in the hope of hoovering up maximum value. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Paddy Twomey does exceptionally well with the ammo he has and Templegate likes one of his Ebor runners at an each-way price Credit: Sportsfile The racing, which will be shown live on ITV1, kicks off on Wednesday with the blockbuster Juddmonte International - where we have a surprise runner supplemented for £85,000. And the big race of the week is Saturday's Ebor handicap - which is where our man's first pick runs… Templegate's York Ebor ante-post tips EBOR (Sat) Trainer Paddy Twomey has done us a couple of favours already this season (Carmers was a lovely Royal Ascot winner for us) and looks to have a solid each-way chance with LA ISLA MUJERES in the Ebor. This Lope De Vega mare is number 18 in the entries so will get a run and has been operating in Listed and Group races with some success since leaving Ralph Beckett's yard in 2024 to cross the Irish Sea. She was an impressive Roscommon winner this time last year and looked in good nick when coming back from eight months off for a close-up second at Down Royal last time. She saw out two miles there but has more than enough pace for this shorter trip where stamina is always an asset anyway. She's hovering around the 33-1 mark which looks too big for a mare that still has potential to improve at the age of five and Twomey is an excellent target trainer. She has some more fancy entries like the Irish St Leger later this season so must be showing plenty at home. They will all have to shift to beat last year's unlucky fifth Hipop De Loire who is 7-2 favourite for Willie Mullins but my hope has plenty going for her each-way. NUNTHORPE (Fri) JM JUNGLE looks a very fair 14-1 for the Nunthorpe on the back of his excellent victory in the Group 2 King George at Glorious Goodwood. This was a clear career best for John and Sean Quinn's five-year-old who enjoyed the quick ground and hit the line really strongly despite winning by only a neck. It's no secret that the current sprinting division is full of horses that are more slow boat than Usain Bolt and the Nunthorpe looks ripe for an upset. JM Jungle's last five visits to York have produced a big handicap win and four places in hot company, all over this trip. There's every chance he'll keep that good run going. JUDDMONTE INTERNATIONAL (Wed) FRENCH raider DARYZ is an interesting contender and looks a big price at 10-1 in a couple of places, with some bookies offering just 7s. This exciting son of Sea The Stars has yet to taste defeat in four outings and took the step up into Group 2 company in his stride at St Cloud last time. Although he's won with some juice in the ground, connections are adamant he wants a quick surface and that's likely to be served up at York. Francis-Henri Grafford knows what he's doing with a talented horse and this improving three-year-old gets weight from his older rivals and can be backed now with three places still on offer. Connections have confirmed him as a planned runner and he could be facing less than the current eight rivals on the day.
