It was not quite the glorious homecoming Rory McIlroy had dared to dream of on his return to Royal Portrush but it felt like redemption for Northern Ireland's favourite sporting son after the heartbreak of six years ago.

The top-ranked golfer in the world cruised to a four-shot win at the British Open at Royal Portrush to claim his first ever Claret Jug and a fourth career major championship. As a result, that sent him back to the United States with a $3.1 million check.

He shot 78 in the opening round at Royal Portrush and looked well on the way to missing the cut in his second straight major. Instead, he flipped a switch and instead shot under par the next three days and earned himself a top-10 finish with a stellar closing 54 holes, finishing as the lowest LIV golfer on the leaderboard.

"It's like you're telling stories over a beer, reflecting on the day at the pub. There's an intimacy and loyalty."

Six years after his emotional missed cut at Royal Portrush, McIlroy stuck around for four days of heavy praise from the hometown crowd, which showered McIlroy all the way through his 10-under performance and T-7 finish.
