Lowry has links-winning form from when he won the Irish Open at Baltray in 2009 and obviously feels very comfortable with seaside golf but his British Open form makes for some very stark reading given that he has missed the cut for four years in a row since 2014. Harrington opened with a 63 at the Irish Open in Lahinch two weeks ago before fading and he missed the cut in Scotland last week. Jon Rahm won his second Irish Open title at Lahinch. For the first time ever the British Open has sold out with no tickets available at the gate. As is always the case at the British Open the best way to describe the weather is changeable.
