7 down states that the nationality of 2011 US Open winner is Irish.

Rory McIlroy is British

Northern Ireland born makes you British.

Northern Ireland is not part of Britain. It is the united kingdom of great Britain AND northern Ireland.

I can guarantee you that Rory McIlroy was born in the UK not Eire. He travels on a UK passport and when filling in the section titled nationality he does NOT write Irish.

Well maybe he’s Irish, but he’s not a teenager. He’s 22. (Says the pedant ;-))

So does someone from Northern Ireland really write ‘British’ as nationality? Seems strange.

He was born in the UK, but his nationalist is Northern Irish not British. Incidentially he has played for Ireland in the Eisenhower, been photographed for Faces of Ireland and is an Ambassador for UNICEF Ireland.

Incidentially all amateur golfers in Ireland compete for Ireland no matter what side of the border they are from.

Clue 7; “Nationality of the 2011 US Golf Open TEENAGE champ”. McIlroy is not a teenager. The answer to the clue is ‘none’.

Rory was born in Hollywood, Northern Ireland near Belfast in 1989. He has represented Ireland, Britain and Northern Ireland in Golf. Bit like Phar Lap I guess, both Aussie AND a kiwi; or the kiwi fruit for that matter: Kiwi & Chinese (originally). Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, not Britain.

“Nationality”: noun ( pl. -ties) …2. “an ethnic group forming a part of one or more political nations.”
