Paul Kimmage at The Open
It’s 35 years since one of the most memorable finals of the North of Ireland championship was played at Portrush.
In 1990 Darren Clarke was the golden boy of golf, and seemed destined for a great career in the game.
Paul McGinley, though, was following hot on his heels and the two slugged it out in the ‘North’ final – Clarke taking victory with a birdie on the 18th.
Over the years, the two were great friends – until they weren’t. On the eve of The Open at Portrush, McGinley tells Paul Kimmage how their friendship fell apart, and how they’ve managed to rebuild it.
