The Open 2019 result: Shane Lowry wins title with six-shot victory to seal famous first major championship

Re-live the action from the final day at the 148th Open Championship as Ireland’s very own Shane Lowry stormed to victory at a rain-sodden Royal Portrush

The Open Championship in numbers

Shane Lowry captured the imagination of his Irish fans with a stunning victory to win The Open Championship and clinch his first major title.

The 32-year-old hails from Clara some 160 miles south of Royal Portrush across the border, and enjoyed a passionate and ferocious support from a partisan crowd who roared him home from start to finish amid one of the greatest atmospheres ever witnessed in Open history.

Only on the first hole did Lowry look in trouble as he began his round with a bogey, giving Tommy Fleetwood a sniff of a challenge, but from there on no one was able to get close to the Irishman and he eventually held off his English playing partner to claim a six-shot victory and spark wild celebrations on the 18th green.

Fleetwood clinched his joint-best finish in a major but rued what could have been after failing to take his chances early on, while Tony Finau rose through the leaderboard with a supreme par round of 71 in tdreadful conditions to take third place. Re-live the action below.

Jim Furyk (+2) navigates the opening hole with a birdie three. This is the time to play, the wind is gentle and you can attack the pin positions.

[21 July 2019 08:45 · Michael Jones]

Last week's Scottish Open winner Bernd Wiesberger (+2) playing with America's Kyle Stanley (+2) are the latest pairing to start their final rounds.

Both head left off the tee but avoid the long grass, Stanley finishes in the second cut but has a decent lay for his approach to the green.

Well done Jim. Furyk (+1) follows up his birdie on the first with another one on the second. Callum Shinkwin (+2) also manages a birdie on the par-5. 

It's been a good start for the players out on the course with lots of red on the board. Paul Waring (+3) adds to it with a three on the fourth.

[21 July 2019 08:57 · Michael Jones]

Bubba's on the board! Two beautiful shots to find the second green are finished off with a delicate putt that rolls in from about 10ft for eagle!

He moves up to join Furyk on (+1).

Casey's (+2) approach shot to the first green is a little long, it got a good skip when it hit the green so he'll have a downhill putt for birdie. Hebert (+2) goes one better and leaves himself an 8 footer or so for a three.
