PAUL McGINLEY has confirmed his participation in The 3 Irish Open at Baltray next month.

The three-time Ryder Cup winner isrelishing the event admitting: “Baltray is probably my favourite links course in Ireland, it is just such a fun course to play: it’s the kind of course you finish a round on and you can’t wait to come back the next day to play it again.

“It’s not too long a course but its main defence is ball control: you have to be able to control, particularly on the par threes which are among the best in the world.
