BREAKING: Shane Lowry wins the British Open by 6 strokes for his first major title.
Shane Lowry has won the British Open for his first major title.
It was the second time Lowry went into the final round of a major with a four-stroke lead, but he ended up in a tie for second at the 2016 U.S. Open after shooting a 6-over 76. Fleetwood, who briefly closed the deficit to three strokes early in the round, is at 11 under overall and 1 over on the day with nine holes to go.Shane Lowry’s lead that dropped to three shots with a bogey at the start is now double that margin as he approaches the turn, six clear of Tommy Fleetwood.
The Irishman, greeted by loud cheers as he was introduced, was the last player in the field to begin the last round of the tournament at Royal Portrush. He leads at 16 under, four strokes ahead of Tommy Fleetwood — his playing partner on Sunday.___Ashton Turner is the first player to complete 72 holes of the British Open, not necessarily a badge of honor because he was in last place going into Sunday. He made the most of it and beat the bad weather with a 3-under 68.
