PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland: It took 68 years for the British Open to return to Royal Portrush and after a memorable week of golf, with Irishman Shane Lowry triumphing amid emotional scenes, it is hard to imagine anything but a swift return to the Northern Irish links course.
Indeed there are suggestions that the beautiful coastal course could host again as early as 2024. Not surprisingly, Graeme McDowell, a Portrush native, is championing such a quick return. Royal St. George's in England will host next year's competition before the Old Course at St. Andrews will be the stage for the tournament's 150th edition in 2021.
"It was amazing, I hope it's on the rotation. I enjoyed the golf course. It played tough and fair. In the town itself, the people were topnotch," he said.
