Portrush has waited six years for this 2019, Shane Lowry thrilled the crowd with a stunning victory. That energy will return, louder and more passionate than ever. But amid the celebration lies a stern warning — Portrush demands focus. A moment's distraction can ruin a course, stretching 7,337 yards, is as brutal as it is beautiful. Calamity Corner, the par-3 16th, looms large. Perched above a deep ravine, the green punishes even the slightest error.

The Open, steeped in tradition since 1860, remains golf 's most historic prize. The Claret Jug, first awarded in 1873, is more than a trophy. It's a legacy. Sun, wind and salty air will frame the mega duel of stars at the season's final major. Scottie Scheffler brings relentless offers flair. Jordan Spieth , always unpredictable, adds drama. Jon Rahm enters with momentum. A top-10 mainstay on the LIV Golf Tour, Rahm has been steady at the majors — 14th at the Masters, 8th at the PGA, and 7th at the US Open. A win would earn him company with Seve Ballesteros as the only Spaniards to lift the Jug.'In my opinion, The Open is the most prestigious event you can win in golf,' said Rahm.

Life goes on.'That balance fuels his consistency. For McIlroy, this is personal. Raised in nearby Holywood, his 2019 Open began with a quadruple and ended with a missed cut. A Grand Slam at the Masters was followed by a rough patch, including a missed cut in Canada. But he appears to have regained some hunger. A runner-up finish at the Scottish Open last week is he's in contention on Sunday, Portrush will erupt. Xander Schauffele, the defending champion, and Bryson DeChambeau will also be in the mix. Collin Morikawa, winner at Royal St. George's in 2021, struggles on the greens but still wields a world-class iron Fleetwood and Tyrrell Hatton, MacIntyre, and Fitzpatrick are dangerous dark horses. The weather could be a factor. Winds of 24 to 31 km/h are expected on Thursday. Rain may arrive on Friday, raising the pressure on early starters to post low scores before the showers soften the course. The Open is an opportunity to taste history right out of the jug that pours the finest Bourdeaux Royal Portrush, the goliaths of golf will launch into a ferocious battle to win the coveted Claret Jug.
