In the last major golf event of the year (which is early for me, considering it's not August), a (relative) hometown favorite won. Ireland's Shane Lowry won The Open (known New World as the British Open) for his first major of his career and first Tour win since 2015. After two positioning rounds of 4 under par the first two rounds, it was his third round of 63 (-8) that sealed the victory. He played an even +1 round on Sunday as he still won by six strokes (none of the Top 5 finished under par in the last round either). Lowry has been trending up, with a number 2 finish at the Canadian Open, and now the biggest victory outside of the United States. The 32-year-old Lowry will not be forgotten, and is the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!.
