More than 2,000 participants expected on 19 July march‘We are working on plans,’ R&A spokesperson saysThe R&A is considering a plan to start the third round at this month’s Open Championship early to minimise disruption from a planned loyalist parade in Portrush. More than 60 bands and 2,000 participants are expected to begin their march through the streets of the town shortly after thousands of spectators would be leaving the sold-out Royal Portrush if organisers stuck to typical tee times.The R&A has been concerned for some time about the logistical challenges associated with the simultaneous events on Saturday week.
