The giant bird, a distant cousin of the ostrich, was spotted roaming the greens and fairways at Evesham Golf Club in Worcestershire. Staff said the animal, nicknamed Linford after sprinter Linford Christie for its speed, appeared in its grounds last weekend - but nobody has been able to catch it. The large animal went on the loose after escaping from its enclosure in the nearby village of Harvington around 12 days ago. Rheas originate from South America and can reach running speeds of up to 40mph. Ryan Cleary, assistant professional at the club, said: 'He is not causing any problems, we are all quite happy to let him stay here, he just wonders around all the golfers.'
