The Open Championship at Royal Portrush GC/Dunluce Links - Shane Lowry is the 2019 Champion Golfer

[buckeye440]

People call this a boring finish but also call the 3M finish boring. What do yall want? Tiger, Phil, and Rory battling? Ain't going to happen. Tiger and Phil are done.

Because Spieth shot 77 in the final round?

Not to worry. We’ve got the finish of the Tour de France, the FedEx playoffs with a final winner, US Open tennis and then football and the World Series. It’s a rich time for the televised sports fan.

33rd in the world at the start of the day and a Rolex Series winner already this year

Ha! Way to go, SL.

Dan Hicks just used some variation of "emotion" 3 times in 15 seconds

[farmer]

JB 87 today? Really? I lost track.

[Hawkeye77]

Minute his daughter is being handed over . . . "Papa!" - bringing a tear to my eye again the second time I'm seeing it. So awesome.

 

Time for a shower and off to the course!!!!!

[Dave230]

So happy, will be a great night tonight! Get in Shane.

[the bishop]

Lotta swag given out for winning this one!

[tiderider]

Kudos to Koepka for waiting by the Scorers Hut to congratulate Shane. My money was on Koepka tbh...then I realised he was with JB! is just a class act.

Because nobody pushed the leader. Nobody. Shane deserves to win. But .... nobody deserves to win minus any real competition. It was boring. But the correct winner came out. Can absolutely be both.

No, because a runaway on a Sunday, especially in a major, is just BORRRRRRRRRING,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

But congrats to Shane. Great job.

87 for Holmes...my goodness.

Watch out complimenting BK, around here is a douche...

Amen....don't wanna know the golf scores? Common sense is to stay off a golf forum. lol

[BeTheRightClubToday]

After the trophy presentation--Lowry vs. Harrington in an "ehm" off.

Once again, thanks to Tiderider for another well run major thread.

[Mikey5e]

Good to see Lowry was good, course looked interesting, but a boring, anticlimatic ending.

[Big Cat 3]

Great champion ! well done Lowery was exceptional all week

See you at the Masters

[Darth Putter]

Now that I see it up close, Fleetwood's shirt looks even worse.

 

The US Team is definitely wearing that in the 2020 Ryder Cup.

I've always jokingly said that if I became president I'd ban Corn Nuts and padded toilet seats. I'm going to add that shirt to that list.

That’s a very British attitude to have to one of your greatest sports stars...he gets to the top of the pedestal and everyone wants to knock him down? That’s a shame.

 

[aenemated]

Aw man, Tommy was so visibly bummed in that interview. He's a good kid; was really pulling for him. But Lowry put together a hell of a tournament.

[Lamb]

A real Irish player won!

[SwooshLT]

BK played very solid for 1st 3 rounds but didn't get everything out of those rounds.....it's golf, it happens....Shane played great all 4 rounds converting on most opportunities especially 3rd round on Saturday....then the very poor weather struck and a charge was negated.....fine winner , very happy for him at this particular championship!

[TheMoneyShot]

Congrats to Shane but boy was this a boring Open Championship.

I shudder to ask, but are there fake Irish players?
