Stenson Finds No Calmness At ‘Calamity Corner’ As McIlroy Says ‘What’s The Fuss’

Clarke To Hit Cermonial Opening Royal Portrush Tee Shot
Darren Clarke will have the honour of teeing off first on Thursday at the start of the 148th Open Championship at Royal Portrush.
It has been 68 years since golf’s oldest major was held in Northern Ireland and at Royal Portrush and it seems only appropriate a Northern Irish golfer should have the honour of hitting the first tee shot.
Clarke captured the 2011 Open Championship amid emotional scenes at Royal St. George’s and in what was a first Open victory for a Northern Irish born golfer.

Tiger Woods clearly has plenty of homework to do ahead of teeing-off Thursday in the 148th Open Championship at Royal Portrush.
Woods was joined by fellow American Patrick Reed and with the duo taking to the Northern Ireland course around 9.30am local time.

“The three minutes now to find your golf ball is very short and it goes ...
