The green is ready, fans are arriving, and the good and great of golf have flocked to Portrush for the open. All eyes are on Rory McIlroy after he achieved golfing immortality in the form of the career grand slam in April. As over 250,000 international fans pour into Portrush, locals have slammed food and accommodation price hikes, including one local spot charging almost £27 for fish and chips.
Olivia Peden is joined from Royal Portrush by Belfast Telegraph’s chief sportswriter Steven Beacom and Sport Journalist Adam McKendry to look ahead to what the open holds.
