PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland - Shane Lowry described his British Open win on Sunday as like an “out of body experience” and for once the cliche of victory being “unbelievable” appeared utterly sincere.
Three years ago, he had blown a four stroke lead in the final round of the U.S. Open at Oakmont but if that memory haunted him, he showed no signs of it, with his controlled and efficient one-over final round of 72, securing a six-stroke win over Fleetwood. At last year’s Open Championship at Carnoustie, Lowry shot an awful 74, fired his caddy on the spot and then missed the cut.
But one suspects he hasn’t always been blessed with the self-belief that some in golf are fortunate to possess. Lowry was careful to avoid getting entangled in some of the grand narratives about Irish history and identity that always run the risk of upsetting or alienating someone.
