Sir, – This year’s Open will not only be remembered for a decent Dungannon man getting his just reward.

It will also be recalled for the huge boost it gave to those of us with “a bit of a gut” who struggle with this great game. When we bend the knees to line up a putt there is no guarantee we will get back up again without the help of a physio and our ears are finely tuned for the ripping sound of overstretched fabric. Darren, you’re the man! – Yours, etc,
