'Champion Lowry recalls incredible scenes as Open returns to Portrush'
Shane Lowry's remarkable victory at the 2019 Open Championship, his dominant finish at 15 under par, capped one of golf's greatest performances witnessed at this historic event. With a six-shot lead over Tommy Fleetwood, Lowry ended Ireland's 68-year wait for an Open champion on the island. As the championship returns to Northern Ireland's Antrim Coast, the anticipation for this extraordinary competition – where local legends like Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell were initially in the spotlight – remains high.
