    I’m happy cause it’s shane but I do hate when majors are sown up on Saturday

    This wasn’t sown up at all. With the conditions today anything could have happened. Lowry could have had the round that Rose or Holmes had today.

    Shane’s caddy has been excellent. Great job. Love the talk between them.

    That 16th hole is crazy difficult. Bad contact or wrong direction and you can forget about it.

    Not really. They had to try to make up ground and take risks. Shane just had to play conservatively. The conditions actually helped him imo.

    Lowry's Wikipedia entry has already been edited to say he has won

    Home and hosed now, delighted for Shane. Could double the last two and still win.

    10 Irish major wins in 12 years after 60 years without a win. An incredible period for Irish golf and hopefully more to come from Shane and Rory, maybe Paul Dunne as well.

    Hope the two lads go to Tokyo next year and go for gold there as well. With most of the Americans excluded it's a real possibility.

    Because it’s easy to learn the words. And it’s great craic when you’re in the middle of it.

    Although I'm delighted for Lowry its a poor round from Fleetwood really. Couldn't put on any pressure despite Lowry being over par for most of the round, not once did Lowry's lead ever look threatened.

    Like 2 pals out for a stroll. At one stage he said something along the lines of

    "Are you ready to take the shot then"?

    "Yeah"

    "Well off you go"

    Must put him at ease that he's so relaxed in his company under this pressure.

    I know it wasnt the low score of yesterday but considering the conditions, pressure and context this has been a quality round from Shane. Fair play big fella.

    Can't be easy controlling the nerves winning your first major.
    But I think he's done a great job.
    And has to be a huge confidence boost or any golfer.
