Rahm has a particular affinity for Ireland, having captured two Irish Opens here on a couple of the most beloved tracks on the island. He stormed to a six-shot win in the 2017 edition at Portstewart, which is just up the road from Portrush, and seized a second two years later at Lahinch in County Clare.

Scottie Scheffler says winning is special, but fleeting, and that being a great father means more than being a great golfer.
