3 Norn Iron major winners in 13 months. Incredible, and this is the sweetest.

Congrats to Darren for being the first Northern Irish man to win a Major in about 3 weeks.

I saw some people in the crowd waving the Tricolour. I have no idea what the implications were of that! 😉

All the Irish want to get a piece of the reflected glory of the Ulstermen, which is fair enough. I was certainly absolutely delighted and proud to see Padraig win his majors.
Fuck the political significance, Gmac, Darren and Rory are all proud Irishmen and Ulstermen. We can all enjoy it, and if you want to wave a flag in the process it is up to you.

McIlroy & McDowell will represent Ireland
Darren Clarke's Open Championship victory was not enough to get him into Ireland's two-man team for the World Cup in China in November.
As world number four Rory McIlroy, had the right to invite Clarke, Graeme McDowell or Padraig Harrington to be his partner, and opted for McDowell.
"G-Mac's the next highest on the rankings, so it will be me and him again," the 22-year-old said today on the eve of the Irish Open at Killarney.
Clarke moved up from 111th to 30th with his triumph at Sandwich two weeks ago, while three-major winner Harrington is now down at 64th.
McIlroy and McDowell represented Ireland - in golf the Republic and Northern Ireland come together - the last time the World Cup was staged two years ago, finishing second to Italian brothers Edoardo and Francesco Molinari.
8) 8) 8)

So Northern Ireland could be golfing world champs. Excellent.

Personally I wouldn't mind if they were classed as and representing Northern Ireland, but when they've been representing Ireland and when they achieve their singles accolades its hard to not feel that bit of national pride. Still though i would presume its something like the Andy Murray situation.......he's usually British for two and a half weeks at Wimbledon before crashing out only for his English fans to reveal he's actually been a scot in disguise all the time 😉

Scottish people like to say that. It is however completely false. They are a nation of fantasists who only believe what they want to believe.
