Lowry Wins 11-Stroke Victory at Home Soil Amgen Irish Open

Shane Lowry won his seventh DP World Tour title and second Amgen Irish Open victory at the Amgen Irish Open, dominating the competition by an 11-stroke margin on home soil in Dublin, Ireland. This triumph marks a significant comeback for Lowry after a challenging season, where he has faced tough times but persevered to achieve this incredible feat.

The 2026 season has been marked by difficulties for Lowry, who mentioned that it 'has been quite difficult on the course for me.' However, his performance at the Amgen Irish Open showcased his exceptional shot-making and scrambling ability. He demonstrated complete control of his game from tee to green, ranking first in Strokes Gained: Total throughout the tournament.

Lowry's victory is significant not only because of its magnitude but also due to the fact that he achieved it using new equipment, the Srixon Driver 9.0° and other Srixon clubs. His winning setup included a New Srixon Driver, Srixon ZXi5 Irons (4i, 5i), Srixon ZXi7 Irons (6i-PW), and Cleveland Golf RTZ wedges.

The win is expected to move Lowry to 17th in the DP World Tour Race to Dubai Rankings as he continues to build momentum heading into the closing stretch of the season. Reflecting on his victory, Lowry expressed gratitude for winning in front of his home fans and acknowledged that this week has been 'the most spectacular week'.
