Rory McIlroy’s €1m in Open fees boosts three charities

Barretstown, which runs camps for seriously ill youngsters and their families, the Jack & Jill Foundation, which helps families with brain damaged children, and the LauraLynn Children’s Hospice were given €317,000 each.
McIlroy said: “While winning the Irish Open this year meant a lot to me, being able to give my prize money to three local children’s charities made it all feel much more special.
