PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland: For Rory McIlroy, Royal Portrush will always be the place where, at the age of 16, he broke the course record in stunning fashion, grabbing the attention of the golfing world.
He recently watched the historical thriller"71" about a British soldier at the height of"The Troubles", which was partly set where McIlroy grew up in Holywood."It is amazing to think 40 years on that it is such a great place, no-one cares who they are, there they're from, what background they're from, but you can have a great life and it doesn't matter what side of the street you come from," he said.
Northern Ireland is one of golf's heartlands, as the large and knowledgeable crowds at practice rounds this week and the sold-out ticket sales have shown.
