  "account": "Shane Lowry claimed his second Irish Open title at Doonbeg Golf Club on Sunday, delighting the hometown crowd and U.S. President Donald Trump. The Trump family own the west of Ireland course, where the tournament took place. Trump arrived in Ireland on Saturday, interrupting play to land his helicopter between a fairway and a field of cows. Lowry, who set a course record with an eight-under-par score the previous day, finished one shot short of matching it on Sunday. Upon hearing the news, Trump declared Lowry to be \"unbelievable\" and praised him as a \"great guy.\" The U.S. president then announced his intention to reduce tariffs on Irish whiskey, a gesture that further delighted the local audience. Trump was among the spectators throughout Lowry's victory, including during a brief appearance in the club bar. Despite protests against Trump in Dublin on Saturday, he received a warm welcome at Doonbeg, a small village in County Clare where the golf resort he purchased in 2014 provides employment for the local population of 300.",
