‘It all clicked this week’: Shane Lowry’s Irish Open win a reminder of his golfing genius

The stars have a habit of aligning for Shane Lowry when it really matters. And if demons have been swirling around in his head for much of the season, he slew them unequivocally – his golf reaching otherworldly heights – to capture the Amgen Irish Open at Trump International in record-breaking fashion and add another famous chapter to a storied career.

This was a true statement of Shane Lowry being Shane Lowry, the best version of himself, in closing with a stunning 63 for a total of 23-under-par 257, which gave him an 11-shot winning margin over runners-up Patrick Reed and Joaquin Niemann.
