Man oh man what a day.  I think we were more worried about Shane Lowry's final round at The Open than he was himself!

Conditions were horrific......and ironically....that made everything just a little bit more manageable for Shane who grew up playing golf in weather that you wouldn't let your dog out for a piss in.

I loved the pic posted by Gary Murphy with Shane and the Claret Jug.

The funny video of Rory McIlroy and Shane's prep is also doing the rounds again. An oldie but goodie!

The walk up 18 was special.

Shane Lowry makes the long walk up the fairway on the 18th on his way to claim the Open.

And what about Shane's Dad, the legendary Offaly footballer Brendan Lowry holding aloft the trophy?

Better than winning the 1982 All Ireland!

Well done to John McLoughlin of the North and West Coast Links Golf Travel company for successfully tipping Shane at odds of 45/1. Here's the moment.

Shane's home town in Offaly is called Clara. It didn't take long for this!

Only Irish people will get it! Lol! pic.twitter.com/srg1pDyifu

Laura Davies called Shane "British" yesterday. We had to nip that in the bud!

Club Orange and Carroll's Meats sure how could Shane Lowry be British! pic.twitter.com/zT5lzVyG64
