Patient Paul Dunne poised to put on Open performance

Paul Dunne will tee off this morning in his fourth Open Championship knowing there is a great performance in him, but he is determined to stay patient until it surfaces.
The 25-year-old from Greystones, who as an amateur three years ago led The Open at St Andrews after three rounds only to finish in a tie for 30th, missed the cut at Troon a year later in his debut season as a professional. Yet, he took a giant leap forwards in 2017, making 25 cuts in 29 European Tour starts, claiming a maiden victory at the British Masters and finishing 16th in the Race to Dubai standings.
