Former European Ryder Cup captain Bernard Gallacher remains in a "critical" condition in hospital.
The 64-year-old, who was taken ill on Thursday, is understood to have a heart problem and will spend a fourth night at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. Nephew and fellow golfer Stephen said: "My family is in disarray at the moment. It is obviously a worrying situation. We are all anxious."
NHS Grampian will provide an update on Monday morning.
Renton Laidlaw, the veteran broadcaster and journalist who has known Gallacher for more than 50 years, told BBC Radio Scotland's Golf Show on Sunday:
"I was up at Aberdeen on Saturday. Bernard is obviously in a critical condition and he is sedated but he has had a quiet night.
"I think he is a fit person, he doesn't drink, he keeps himself fit, he doesn't smoke and hopefully he will make a good recovery.
"We don't know just what brain damage there might be but we are keeping our fingers crossed that it's not too bad."
Current European Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley, currently competing in the Wales Open, said: "I'm thinking about him like everyone else and hoping he will pull through.
"He is a guy I know pretty well, he lives near me in Sunningdale, and I have played golf with him many times.
"I've spoken to him about the Ryder Cup captaincy and he is a mine of information. He was captain three times and between him and Tony Jacklin they have more experience than anyone. My thoughts are with him and the family."
