The only time Rory McIlroy seemed angry at the DDF Irish Open's approach to Ballyliffin, was when he was questioned about the depth of quality on the pitch. It was pointed out that only five other players from the world's top 50 were playing, the implication being that he – as a host – had to be disappointed with the few world elite trips.
McIlroy was not too impressed by He rightly pointed to a number of valid reasons why the estate was what it was: the July 4th vacation in the United States was clearly a dissuasive factor for many Americans who played, while it was not going either "Twist the arm of anyone" to play
The fact is that the Irish Open was the biggest tournament in the world last week and this will be the case again when it will be presented in Lahinch next year. A number of factors will help to ensure that next year 's Irish Open – to be hosted by Paul McGinley – will play an even bigger role.
First, the 148th Open will be presented to the Royal Portrush two weeks later. McGinley – as we know from his captain title in the Ryder Cup – is an old fox and it is not surprising that he has already been in contact with the R & A for that reason. it can reflect Lahinch's set-up as it will be in Portrush. In doing so, he hopes that this will encourage players to prepare with a dashboard under similar conditions. His proximity to the Major should help strengthen the Open of Ireland.
Second, this year 's French Open has attracted a large number of elite players from the European circuit as it will host the Ryder Cup in September. Nobody can argue with the players who have entered the Paris tournament in their schedules but this situation will not occur next year.
Third, the adverse PGA Tour tournament next year is a new event: the Open 3M in Minneapolis. the Mid-West – probably does not have the same shooting power
What is no doubt, is that McIlroy has handed the Irish Open to McGinley in a much better form than It was not when he took the reins four years ago. From a point where he had slipped to an intermediate level tournament on the PGA European Tour, the Irish Open – under the supervision of McIlroy – has returned to an elite event. The money price has tripled right now, it is a Rolex series camera; and the amount of money raised for various charities, in the millions, should be appreciated.
McGinley will bring his own ideas to the party in Lahinch; the upward trend will continue!
