Rory McIlroy secures Scottish Open victory

Early day motion 1484, tabled 17 July 2023 by Jim Shannon (DUP). Signed by 7 members.

That this House notes the latest victory by Northern Ireland and UK golfing champion Rory McIlroy, who won the Scottish Open golf tournament; further notes that he secured victory by one stroke on the final day by scoring back to back birdies; highlights that McIlroy’s first professional victory in Scotland means that he is the first player in history to have won an Open, an Irish Open and a Scottish Open; and wishes him every success as he seeks to continue his winning streak at the Open at the Royal Liverpool course on Thursday 20 July.

Signatures by party: DUP 4, Alba 1, Alliance 1, Independent 1.
