When Irish Eyes are Smiling 😁
The 153rd Open Championship takes place on Royal Portrush’s Dunluce Course. The Open was recently played at Portrush in 2019. Won by Shane Lowry at 15 under par, the course also hosted another Open Championship in 1951 (Max Faulkner, -3). Set across the North Atlantic Ocean, this amazing dunescape design is framed to the north by the Giant’s Causeway. A unique rock formation along the Northern Irish coast, it is a fitting neighbor for Royal Portrush, where giants of the game are about to compete. The top 59 players are on property, ready to compete for $17 million. The top 70 and ties will play the weekend and have a chance to claim the Claret Jug. Xander Schauffele is the current holder of the famous trophy from his victory one year ago at Royal Troon.
