In tracing Ireland’s remarkable contribution to the Open Championship, Dermot Gilleece takes us back to 1913 when Royal Dublin’s Michael Moran became the first player from this island to claim prize money in the world’s oldest Major. In the event, Moran was awarded £12 10s for a share of third place with the great Harry Vardon behind the winner, JH Taylor. Sadly, Moran was only 31 when he died five years later as a soldier in the British Army in the First World War.
