Royal Portrush will provide great incentive, says O’Sullivan

THE selection of Royal Portrush as the venue for the British Seniors Open this season was described as a “great incentive” by Denis O’Sullivan, the Irishman who finished eighth on the European Seniors Tour last season.

“It is a great course and very popular with the Irish professionals” he said. “It would be great if it helped produce an Irish champion.”

O’Sullivan, who is 55 and a member of Cork GC, has been six years on tour. He finished in the top ten in the order of merit four times and his highest finish was third.
