Another Popular Year

When Terry Rogers passed the baton onto Liam Flood, little did he know that the Irish Open would morph into the epic event it is now, but the former bookmaker can rest easy in his grave as the 2010 Irish Open looks set to echo the achievements of recent years.

I spoke to Liam earlier in the week, and although he was proud to have been at the centre of it all, he was quick to commend the tournament sponsors for the professionalism they've brought to the event, not to mention the mountains of added money. "We put on a lot of entertainment now," gleams Liam, "which gives people something else do, sing a song, drink maybe the occasional pint. It's popular because, possibly, and hopefully, it's run very well."

If the current number of 678 is anything to go by, 2010 looks to be yet another "popular" year, and, if we creep over the 708 mark... maybe even a record-breaking one.
