Northern Ireland's golfing legacy and the Open Championship

That this House notes the Open Golf Championship is due to be held at Royal Portrush Golf Club; and recognises that Northern Ireland's rich golfing legacy has been enhanced in the modern era with Rory McIlroy's outstanding achievements in becoming a five times Major Champion, in addition to the pioneering exploits of May Hezlet who, between 1899 and 1908, won the British Ladies Championship three times, the Irish Ladies Championship five times and was recognised by the Ulster History Circle at the Royal Portrush Clubhouse in the run up to the Open Championship returning in July 2025.
