History http://www.bergstatt.at/impressum sildalis forum  Sepia-tinged memories abound at Royal Portrush, where the 1951 Open was staged – the only time the championships have been held in Northern Ireland. One of the caddies, knocking 70, regales us with the story of how he was taken to watch The Open as a boy and had a ringside view of the action – standing on top of a horse. You couldn't make it up. Now, with golf in the province booming – Graeme McDowell completes a triumvirate of recent Major winners, along with Clarke and McIlroy – there is a strong likelihood that Royal Portrush will host another Open before 2020.
