McDowell to sink a few of the other kind at new tavern

He has a stunning new fiancée, a newly built lakeside mansion in Orlando, another million in the bank and 10 weeks off the golf course to look forward to.

What else could major winner Graeme McDowell want? His own pub outside the front door it seems.

Portrush star McDowell rounded off his season in style Sunday night with victory in Tiger Woods’s invitational event in California and admitted he wasn’t even sure where to open a bar tab for his fans. After clinching his first tour win in two years at Sherwood Country Club on America’s West Coast, McDowell realised there was still time to open a tab back at his home golf club in Rathmore GC in Portrush. But now he’s poised to open his own tavern, Nona Blue just outside the Lake Nona Golf resort in Florida.
