The Open: Ex-West End club pro Rishworth certain to rule at Carnoustie
David Rishworth, head club professional at Halifax West End for 26 years until 2011, never quite realised his childhood dream of playing in the Open Championship.
But the 61-year-old will get to walk inside the ropes this week at Carnoustie alongside the world’s top golfers after being chosen to represent the Professional Golfers’ Association as one of the event’s army of match referees.
“Each golfing body gets two to three people to go and represent them and the PGA normally send their head of tournaments and the senior tournament director, who are based at The Belfry,” said Rishworth.
