The Open Championship 2019: Shane Lowry beats the weather at Royal Portrush

The Hindu  

Shane Lowry defeated the elements and his rivals in stunning fashion to become a major winner for the first time, recording a commanding six-shot victory for an emotional Open Championship triumph at Royal Portrush. @ShaneLowryGolf is the Champion Golfer of the Year with a SIX-shot victory.#LiveUnderParpic.twitter.com/2As4ywtP3q — PGA TOUR July 21, 2019 Lowry had reached a low point 12 months ago at the same tournament at Carnoustie, where he missed the cut - for the fourth Open in succession - and slipped to 92nd in the world rankings. The landscape of the leaderboard could have been markedly different after the first hole the final pairing played in the fourth round, when Lowry followed a nervy tee shot that landed in the left rough with an approach into the greenside bunker, while Fleetwood put his approach to within 10 feet.
