ACADEMY NEWS
Tour News - The Open Championship Review
Cruising to a 6 shot victory, Irishman Shane Lowry provided a fitting finale to the 148th Open Championship. With so much hype in the buildup to the fourth and final major of 2019, the course, players, and fans, did not disappoint.
With public reminders of a large lead being squandered in the 2016 U.S Open, Lowry had a point to prove and demons to be banished. A nervy wobble down the first hole on Sunday was to be expected but the roar for a bogey five was undoubtedly the loudest cheer for a drop shot Lowry had ever received. This settled him into a thrilling final round and despite going onto make several more bogeys, Lowry always looked in control making key putts at the right times to keep Fleetwood at arm’s length. 
The set up and condition of the Dunluce Course provided a proper links challenge that tested the entire field of players. Changing elements throughout the Sunday resulted in plenty of big shifts on the scoreboard but Lowry’s impressive skill set saw him stretch his lead and become champion golfer of the year. Not even the heavy deluge could dampen the spirits of the Irish fans as they cranked the volume up to 11 and serenaded Lowry down the 18th.
