“Tom had a day off so he just had to go to St Andrews,” a source told the Daily Record. “It is the home of golf and only about 250 miles from where he’s filming. It took no time in a helicopter.”

Filming of his latest movie is taking place in Yorkshire, where Cruise is based. Most locals in the area were thrilled to have a Hollywood star in the area – but villagers in nearby Middleton Tyas weren’t best please with the noise pollution.

One said: “It was like the flight path to Heathrow – helicopters coming and going all day. A nightmare.”

• Finally, some good news for Rickie Fowler

Despite the 250-mile distance from his location to St Andrews, that didn’t stop the 54-year-old getting a round in as he flew north in a helicopter to make his tee time.
