R&A chief Mark Darbon confirmed that start times for the third round of the Open will be changed to accommodate the Portrush Sons of Ulster.<\/p>\n
The 153rd edition of the tournament will begin 15 minutes earlier than scheduled, as 70 bands and 2,000 people will descend on the town.<\/p>\n
Darbon said at a press conference: “We recognise that when we bring The Open Championship to town, we are a guest in the community in which we operate.<\/p>\n
“On many occasions, there are concurrent events that take place around the action that we are very focused on here, within the rules of the venue.<\/p>\n
“We are making a slight tweak to tee times to try and finish – it’s not dramatic, maybe 15 minutes or so earlier.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"R&A chief Mark Darbon confirmed that start times for the third round of the Open will be changed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2875,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[3748,49,48,622,3743,3745,3744,3746,3747,1976,1974,82,3742,3749],"class_list":["post-2874","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-bryson-dechambeu","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-golf","tag-golf-live","tag-golf-news","tag-golf-open","tag-golf-scores","tag-pga-tour","tag-rory-mcilroy","tag-scottie-scheffler","tag-sports","tag-the-open","tag-the-open-championship"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2874","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2874"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2874\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2875"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2874"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2874"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2874"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
