Shane Lowry claimed the Irish Open title on Sunday in a record-setting performance at the Doonbeg Golf Club in Ireland, where US President Donald Trump was among the spectators. Lowry finished the tournament with a final round of 63 and a total score of 23-under par, securing victory by an 11-stroke margin. This win marked Lowry’s first individual title in four years, his last coming at the BMW PGA Championship in 2022.

The 39-year-old Irish golfer’s dominant performance broke a longstanding record, surpassing the previous largest winning margin in the tournament set by Bernhard Langer, who won by 10 strokes at Portmarnock 39 years ago. Lowry, ranked 53rd in the world, also celebrated his second Irish Open title, having first won the event as an amateur in 2009. His nearest competitors, Patrick Reed and Joaquin Niemann, tied for second place but were well behind in the final standings.

President Trump, an avid golf enthusiast, attended the event while visiting Ireland for political engagements in Dublin. He arrived at Doonbeg on Saturday by helicopter Marine One and watched from the VIP suite with his sons, Eric and Don Jr., as Lowry finished the tournament. Trump also participated in the trophy presentation ceremony following the conclusion of the final round.

Lowry’s victory at Doonbeg has been widely noted both for the impressive margin and for breaking his individual title drought, highlighting a significant achievement in his professional career. The event provided a prominent platform for Lowry against a backdrop of notable spectatorship and a scenic Irish venue.
