Overview
- Lowry sealed the Amgen Irish Open at Trump International Doonbeg on Sunday with a seven-under 63 to finish 23 under par and win by a record 11 shots.
- He built his lead with a course‑record 62 in the second round and extended it through a controlled final round that included eight birdies.
- On Saturday a ground microphone reportedly caught Lowry saying volunteers or spectators “deserved to get hit” after a hooked tee shot, and the remark has provoked strong social‑media backlash without any widely reported formal sanction or apology.
- U.S. President Donald Trump attended the event, presented the trophy, and his arrival required on‑site security measures that briefly affected play.
- The victory is Lowry’s first individual title since 2022 and his second Irish Open win since 2009, while Rory McIlroy struggled to defend the title and finished one under as players now turn their focus to the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.
