Hello and welcome along to the Times’ live coverage of the 153rd Open from Royal Portrush. The final major of the year promises to be a brilliant watch, with challenging conditions and a devilishly difficult course standing between the world’s finest golfers and the Claret Jug.
Rory McIlroy, the home favourite, arrives having finally completed the career grand slam at the Masters earlier this year, but he’s had a tough couple of months since. Which version of the Holywood star will turn up this weekend?
Shane Lowry, who won his only major title here in 2019, is also back, hoping to replicate his stunning 63, a course record, to add to his tally.
