MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Justin Rose didn’t have the finish he would have liked at last week’s Open Championship, a closing 79 in some of the week’s worst conditions, but that didn’t alter his opinion of Royal Portrush.
“I really enjoyed the golf course. I think it was a golf course that didn't have a bad hole on it,” said Rose, who tied for 20th at The Open.
Royal Portrush returned to The Open rota last week for the first time since 1951 and was largely praised by players for both the quality of design and logistics. That Irishman Shane Lowry won the event only contributed to the layout’s success.
