    Ehh......I kinda know that but the mejia including the Irish media hardly ever refer to it as the ‘British open’....? A bit like they insist on addressing Cnuts like ‘Alex ferguson’ as ‘sir alex’...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 22,648 ✭✭✭✭FixdePitchmark


    that was an outstanding performance

    Newstalk seem to make a point of calling it The British Open.

    Fred Daly was the first Irish winner of the Open as far back as 1947.

    I don’t know if he pays for a pint in Offaly now but I’d say for a while he might never pay after this.
