  • NI Golf Winners V Final
    Faith, Hope and Love - Three Secrets behind Northern Ireland’s Major Winners Faith [feiθ] noun, have faith Complete trust or confidence in someone or something Hope [heop] noun, verb, hoped, hop-ing Feeling of expectation and desire for a particular thing to happen or be true Love [lΛv] noun, verb, loved, lov·ing Feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend How can a relatively small region like Northern Ireland (population 1.8m) possibly produce a succession of major winners in golf, at a time when the competitive intensity at the top of the world game is at its greatest in living memory? The towns of Portrush (population 7000) and Holywood (population 12,000) are two small communities in Northern Ireland, yet both have given birth to and nurtured major champions in golf. Portrush is the home of Fred Daly (1947 Open Champion), Graeme McDowell (2010 US Open Champion, 6 European Tour wins, 3 Ryder Cups) and is now the home of Darren Clarke (2011 Open Champion, 14 European Tour wins, 3 PGA Tour wins, 5 Ryder Cups). Just down the road from Belfast in Northern Ireland is Holywood, the home of Rory McIlroy, the World’s Number 1 golfer and already a 2 time major winner at 23 and winner of the order of merit on both sides of the Atlantic in 2012. He has also won 6 times on the US PGA Tour and 5 times on the European Tour, representing Europe twice in the Ryder Cup. McDowell, McIlroy and Clarke with Harrington and McGinlay How can these relatively isolated, relatively communities produce such globally competitive athletes? What special ingredients existed in Northern Ireland that enabled these champions to grow their talent from aged 8-18 to create the platform for their success at the pinnacle of the world class in their sport? Are there lessons that can enhance performance plans and talent development strategies? Over the last two years I have been privileged to gain a unique insight into what is behind the success achieved by Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell.

  • The Final Rounds of the 1947 Open Championship Were Played at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Hoylake
    The Final rounds of the 1947 Open Championship were played at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Hoylake. Northern Ireland's Fred Daly became the first Irish winner of the Open Championship, one stroke ahead of runners-up Reg Horne and amateur Frank Stranahan. It was Daly's only major title. Henry Cotton and Laurie Ayton, Jnr shared the first round lead, but in the second round both fell back with rounds of 78 and 80, respectively. After 36 holes Daly owned a four-shot lead over Cotton. Daly had a poor third round, shooting 78 to fall into a tie for the lead with Cotton, Arthur Lees, and Norman Von Nida. There were a further nine players within three-strokes of the lead. Horne, who began two back, made the first move with a 35 on the front-nine. He took a pair of 5s at the 16th and 17th holes, however, and at the 18th his putt for a 3 lipped out. He finished with a 294 total. Daly began the round with a 38 on the front, but he recovered on the back and holed a birdie putt on the 18th to post 293. Cotton made the turn in 36 and needed a 35 on the back to tie Daly, but in the blustery wind this proved too difficult and he finished at 297. That left Stranahan as the last player on the course able to tie Daly. He reached the 17th needing to play the final two holes in 7, but a three-putt led to a 5 and saw him needing an improbable 2 on the last.

  • Tee-Scripts.Com PRE-TOURNAMENT INTERVIEW June 19, 2019
    PRE-TOURNAMENT INTERVIEW June 19, 2019 DARREN CLARKE CHRIS RICHARDS: Good afternoon, everyone. I would like to welcome Mr. Darren Clarke to the media center here at the American Family Insurance Championship. Darren, you played in the pro-am this morning. What are your initial impressions of this golf course? DARREN CLARKE: Yeah, the course was really, really good. Fantastic condition. We had a little bit of rain this morning as you're aware and the greens slowed down a little bit. I spoke to a few of the guys that played yesterday and the greens were really fast and really firm, so probably played a little bit easier today than it did yesterday. But I really enjoyed the golf course. I had a great team in the pro-am and it was a nice morning out there. CHRIS RICHARDS: We're in the middle of the season, you're coming off a T-4 in Japan. Do you feel like your game is trending in the right direction? DARREN CLARKE: I thought that in the past and it's sort of backfired on me a little bit, but no, I feel as if I'm playing quite nicely. And in Japan I played very nicely; especially on the last day I played really nicely. Couldn't quite make a putt when I needed to, but played well. So hopefully this week I'll just continue on with doing that. CHRIS RICHARDS: And in the first round we've got a fun group, you're playing with Colin and Retief, kind of an international field.
