Went for a ramble around Royal Portrush a while back to try and find the best spot for the average punter to take in The Open action this week I think I might have struck gold 🏌️⛳️

"My goal is to hit the first shot and the last shot this week" Padraig Harrington, handed the honour of getting this Open underway tomorrow morning, doesn't intend to stand on ceremony irishexaminer.com/sport/golf/ari…

Final offering for today Scottie Scheffler got everyone's attention here at Royal Portrush this week when he claimed winning isn't fulfilling Some have come close to it by finishing second irishexaminer.com/sport/golf/ari…

The 153rd Open is over 3 hours into its opening day but most of us are still playing a waiting game until Rory McIlroy tees off at 3.10pm irishexaminer.com/sport/golf/ari…

Great start for Padraig Harrington this morning, but little else went to plan for him after the first hole irishexaminer.com/sport/golf/ari…

No guts, no glory Shane Lowry played through the worst of the conditions on Day 1 of The Open and came through it with a one-under par round of 70 That'll do irishexaminer.com/sport/golf/ari…

Another day of Open drama at Royal Portrush for Rory McIlroy - but nothing like the torment of 2019 “i felt like I dealt with it really well today. Certainly dealt with it better than I did six years ago” irishexaminer.com/sport/golf/ari…

Six-hour rounds in testing conditions on a world-class links: only the strong will survive until Sunday at this Open Shane Lowry: “You just need to kind of put your head down and battle through it and see where it leaves you” irishexaminer.com/sport/golf/ari…

Rory McIlroy is five shots off The Open lead after another up-and-down round at Royal Portrush (Although Scottie Scheffler is on the sort of run right now that could make the chase a lot harder come the weekend) irishexaminer.com/sport/golf/ari…

Rory McIlroy already knew he had work to do when he finished his second Open round in Royal Portrush Then Scottie Scheffler went full Scottie Scheffler irishexaminer.com/sport/golf/ari…

Hugely unfortunate and controversial two-shot penalty for Shane Lowry at The Open last night But its lucky for the R&A that he wasn't further up or down the leaderboard given the likely furore if he had been contending, of if he missed the cut irishexaminer.com/sport/golf/ari…

Rory McIlroy’s 66 on the third day of The Open was a blizzard of giddiness, drama and the bizarre… …but he only made up one shot on the boringly brilliant Scottie Scheffler irishexaminer.com/sport/golf/ari…

You don't always get what you want... His second stint at an Open in Portrush didn't match his first, but Shane Lowry still has one huge career goal to aim for this season irishexaminer.com/sport/golf/ari…

“He’s setting a benchmark that we all want to be at” New Open champion Scottie Scheffler is playing at a level only You Know Who managed in the modern era A career Grand Slam feels inevitable irishexaminer.com/sport/golf/ari…

The Wallabies have 80 minutes now to save the Lions series and change the narrative over a tour that hasn't caught the imagination Chatted to @silew in Melbourne about the first and second Tests, and what we might learn from Tuesday's last midweek game irishexaminer.com/sport/rugby/ar…

Scraping past the FNP XV 24-19 today means the British and Irish Lions have won every non-Test game on a tour for the first time since 1989 That was in Australia too

It’s the moment of truth on Saturday in Melbourne: for the Lions, the Wallabies, Aussie rugby, and maybe even the prospect of future tours Down Under No pressure then Got all the news and views from the coal face from Simon Lewis prior to the 2nd Test irishexaminer.com/sport/rugby/ar…
