Shane Lowry won the 2019 British Open by six shots on Sunday after finishing 15 under par for the tournament at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland.
The Irishman carded a one-over-par round of 72, but after starting the day with a four-shot lead over Tommy Fleetwood in second, that proved more than good enough in challenging conditions.
PGA TOURNo luck needed for the Irishman. ud83cuddeeud83cuddeau2618ufe0f @ShaneLowryGolf is the Champion Golfer of the Year with a SIX-shot victory. #LiveUnderPar https://t.co/2As4ywtP3q
Fleetwood had his chances early on to put pressure on Lowry, but he could not get a putt to drop and he eventually finished second on nine under.
