The course enjoyed a redesign in the run up to The Open with 2 new holes being added with the 7th and 8th replacing the 17th and 18th holes to accommodate the huge crowds (190,000 over the tournament) which visited this famous stretch of coastline for another great edition of The Open Championship.
About Royal PortrushThe 80th Open Championship was held at Royal Portrush in 1951, the first time it had been held outside Scotland or England. Max Faulkner claimed the Claret Jug that year giving us a British Champion but it took another 18 years for the next one with Tony Jacklin winning at Royal Lytham.
The Dunluce Links then enjoyed one of the finest moments in Northern Ireland and world golf in 2019 with Shane Lowry's near-flawless performance in claiming the Claret Jug. Lowry became the second player from the Republic of Ireland to win a major after Padraig Harrington.
