Trump watches as Lowry wins Irish Open in record-breaking style
DOONBEG (Ireland): Shane Lowry won the Irish Open title in record-breaking style on Sunday as US President Donald Trump watched the home hero’s triumph at his Doonbeg course.
Shane Lowry claimed the Irish Open title in record-breaking fashion on Sunday, as US President Donald Trump watched from the sidelines at his Doonbeg course. The 39-year-old Irish golfer posted a final round total of 63, finishing 23 under par for the tournament. Lowry secured his victory by 11 strokes, ending a four-year wait for another individual title. This margin surpassed the previous tournament record set by Bernhard Langer in 1983, who won by 10 shots.
Lowry, who had not won a major title since the BMW PGA Championship in 2022, expressed his disbelief at his achievement. He said, "I can't believe I'm standing here on top of the leaderboard. A lot of things went right, but this has been the most spectacular week for me." Trump, a golf enthusiast, watched Lowry's triumph from his Doonbeg course, having watched the winner sink the final putt on the 18th green from his VIP suite.
