The countdown has begun to one of the most eagerly awaited events on this year’s sporting calendar, when the Open Championship makes a historic return to Northern Ireland after a near 70-year absence.
The 148th Open will be played at Royal Portrush, in Co Antrim, from July 14-21, 68 years after it was last held at the world-renowned course in 1951, when Max Faulkner became champion golfer of the year.
Such has been the interest in this year’s tournament that all four championship days are already sold out, with only practice-day tickets remaining.
