How Shane Won the Claret Jug
James Nesbitt narrates the story of Lowry鈥檚 magical triumph at the 2019 Open Championship, featuring patriotic fans, some appalling weather and a home golfer trying to contain his emotions.
The Open made a dramatic return to Northern Ireland in 2019 after a 68-year absence, and Royal Portrush served up a treat with Irishman Shane Lowry emerging as the winner.
Lowry could not have chosen a better venue to claim his first major title, and he soared to the top of the leaderboard after shooting a magnificent 63 in the third round, setting a new course record in one of the greatest rounds in Open history. He held firm on the final day as his rivals faltered to claim the Claret Jug by six shots.
Patriotic fans, some appalling weather and a home golfer trying to contain his emotions all combined to make the 148th Open Championship one of the best.
Eilidh Barbour introduces all the action, while Northern Irish actor James Nesbitt narrates the story of Lowry鈥檚 magical triumph.
