Winning at home, on irish soil in front of all his adoring irish fans must mean so much to him. Well done Rory the greatest golfer Ireland has ever produced.

Some day Rory is going to win the Olympic gold for Ireland.

And you foreign Planters will have the immense pleasure of watching him on the podium as the 🇮🇪 is raised.

And Amhrán na bhFiann is played to all the world.

The fact you said British isles makes it political. He’s an Irish golfer who represents ireland. It’s not that hard to comprehend

Why use the term “British Isles” Jon?
He’s an Irish golfer. Golf is a 32 county sporting body. He won on Irish soil. Yet you use “British Isles”. It comes across as intentionally inaccurate, desperate and pathetic.
