BIRTHPLACE

Rory McIlroy returns to the site of his first professional victory on Irish soil when he tees it up at this week’s Horizon Irish Open. The four-time Major Champion secured a famous victory at The K Club in 2016 after producing a stunning birdie-par-eagle finish to win the island of Ireland’s national open by three strokes. The Northern Irishman leads the way in this year’s Race to Dubai Rankings after winning back-to-back Rolex Series events in Dubai and Scotland, his 15th and 16th wins on the DP World Tour, as he look to defend the Harry Vardon Trophy he won for a fourth time last year.
