Summary
Rory McIlroy admits the US President's appearance at the Amgen Irish Open this weekend provides a logistical challenge. Huge crowds are continuing to descend on Doonbeg for Pro-Am day, with Former Liverpool star Robbie Fowler, All-Ireland winners Gearóid Hegarty and Ryan O'Donoghue, and former Munster star Conor Murray among those teeing off this afternoon. There's plenty of local involvement in the caddying teams, with Clare football star Mark McInerney on the bag for Pádraig Harrington's group, while a number of other local caddies have also been called into action. Local schools are also getting their day out to soak up the atmosphere of this historic occasion, with the likes of Clohanes, Doonbeg and Cree National Schools among those represented. Home favourites Shane Lowry and Rory McIlroy attracted the biggest support on the fairways earlier, and afterwards McIlroy has this to say about Donald Trump's visit.
