Overview
- Lowry closed with a seven-under 63 to finish 23-under 257 and win the Amgen Irish Open by a record 11 shots on Sunday.
- His total of 23-under broke the tournament 72-hole scoring mark and his 11-shot margin surpassed the previous Irish Open winning margin.
- U.S. President Donald Trump presented the trophy at Doonbeg and used the ceremony to say he would remove tariffs on Irish whiskey.
- During Saturday's third round on-course microphones captured Lowry saying volunteers "deserved to get hit," which provoked immediate social-media calls for apology or fines and led Lowry to say he was frustrated with marshals.
- The victory ends Lowry's four-year individual win drought, gives him ranking points and momentum ahead of upcoming majors and Ryder Cup selection, and provided a boost to the local Doonbeg economy tied to the Trump-owned course.
