McDowell living out his boyhood dreams

IMAGINE how his little brother Gary was feeling as he watched the kid the whole family now calls G-Mac heading out to do battle for America’s major – the US Open.

It was the stuff of dreams but Graeme McDowell was trying not to get too caught up in memories of those far off days when the two of them begged their dad Kenny to take them down to the local pitch and putt.

Bigger challenges would await McDowell on the Valley links that Rathmore calls home or the world famous Dunluce course of the town’s most famous club, Royal Portrush.
