Lowry Blasts Past Field to Win Amgen Irish Open 2026 by 11 Shots
Offaly's Shane Lowry made golf history by winning the Amgen Irish Open 2026 in spectacular fashion, shooting a remarkable 28 birdies and setting a new course record on Friday. This dominating performance left the rest of the field far behind as he won the tournament by an impressive 11 shots.
US President Donald Trump was among the spectators who watched Lowry's incredible display, even wishing him good luck with a handshake earlier in the day. The Offaly man later joked that this was 'a bit mad', but it clearly had no effect on his focus as he went on to secure the win.
Lowry's impressive victory has earned him a well-deserved break, and he plans to head to Adare Manor for Ryder Cup practice on Monday before traveling to London that night. When asked about his packed schedule, Lowry quipped, 'Yeah, no rest for the wicked.'
