• Lowry becomes sixth Irishman to win major title
An emotional Shane Lowry described how he had fought through the bad times, including leaving the Open last year at Carnoustie in tears, to win a brilliant first major championship in Portrush.
The 32-year-old Irishman, who shot a final-round 72 in brutally testing conditions to win by six shots from Tommy Fleetwood, also admitted that he felt like he was having an “out‑of‑body experience” coming up the 18th hole as thousands of fans cheered him on to glory.
