Niagara-on-the-Lake was well-represented at the prestigious Open Championship played last week at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland.

Among those attending were Shauna Dickson and her father, Paul, proprietor of the Irish Design store on Queen Street.

They were on vacation in the Emerald Isle and were able to take in several days of competition at the Open.

Paul is a former member of Royal Portrush and a longtime member of the NOTL Golf Club.

Shauna noted the record crowd was overwhelmingly cheering on Irishman Rory McIlroy in hopes he would win the Claret Jug again.

But he finished tied for seventh, behind winner Scottie Scheffler.
