Photobomb by Jon Rahm, a unique open study of Padraig
Portrush, Northern Ireland – Hello, friends and a happy Wednesday for Royal Portrush! It was an amazing day in Northern Ireland and I could not have liked this trip more.
Rahm’s Photobomb
I was having a hard time beating on Tuesday night in Porthush. Again, it’s an open week, so I wouldn’t be shocked if we had another or two surprises before Sunday night.
My colleague and I went to the Port Bar last night for supper and drinks, and we were hanging out and waiting to sit down. I ordered the harp beer and while putting it all into practice, I ipped it and let me say the person watching is secondary. There are caddy, agents, other media members, locals and golf fans in the town, and some players. Including Jon Ram.
When we noticed someone jumping in our photos, my colleague Emma Devine took a few photos of James Colgan, Dylan Dethier and me. When it registered with the three of us, he was Jon Rahm, who was getting in the car and being driven away.
This was one of my most unexpected encounters in the golf championships on site. I’m Rahm: 1) the fact that I’m hanging out with our average guys in the bar during the public week; 2) the willingness to have fun with Photobomb (or what some people on X call “Photorahm”) while out.
Rorimania!
I arrived at the class this morning and went to the range, then went back to the media center for breakfast and then went to the R&A press conference. After that, I had some lunch and went to follow Rory McIlroy’s practice. It was about 60 degrees, with a gentle breeze blowing, while the crowd after my hometown loved the most was huge.
It was very sweet to see Rory’s Practice Round Gallery today at Portrush. There were 10 people firm on Wednesday. Hometown major hits differently. pic.twitter.com/ex4mktiust

I noticed that there is one a lot of There are more children in public than I have participated in other golf games. I’m not only a teenager. There are children aged 4 to 12 everywhere. Each of them seems to be in life and they all want to see Rory McIlroy.
Padraig Harrington’s unique open research
Padraig Harrington is clearly known for his Golf talent and, recently, has been able to help players in general improve their gameplay thanks to his YouTube channel. But the two-time open-ended champion and pointed out that the “Spoon” alumni have a secret third and equally important talent: a deep knowledge of ice cream.
Regarding ice cream, especially 99 seconds, Harrington is a certified ball handle. If you have never heard of it before spending time in Europe like me, allow me to introduce them to you. The 99s is a fudge ice cream with a flake-shaped chocolate bar on top. It turns out that Harrington not only won the Open Championships for years, but he has been doing research.
Royal Porthush has the best 99 seconds of any open venue, and we can say his promise, as a quick Getty image search proves that he has enjoyed the 99s in many of the past open tournaments.
As my own ice cream connoisseur, I had no choice but to try my own royal portrayal of 99, which was not disappointing.
I will make sure that I enjoy more people this week to make sure Harrington’s claim is correct.
