Donald Trump admitted he spoke to Irish Open champion Shane Lowry about lifting tariffs on Irish whiskey.Lowry triumphed at his home tournament for the second time, 17 years on from first claiming the title, by a record 11 shots at Doonbeg, with US president Trump – on a two-day visit to Ireland – presenting him with the trophy.Lowry received the winner’s trophy from Trump, himself an avid golferGettyAnd Trump was cheered at the trophy presentation ceremony as he announced he would do away with the tariffs.“It was very unfair because others had the relief and they [Ireland] didn’t, so I thought I’d do it,” he said.“Actually, Shane asked me about it too. A lot of people asked me.”An historic successIn winning by 11 shots from Joaquin Niemann and Patrick Reed, who were tied for second place, Lowry set a new record for the largest margin of victory at the Irish Open.The previous record of ten shots had belonged to two-time Masters champion Bernhard Langer since 1987.“This year has been quite difficult on the course for me,” an emotional Lowry told RTE Sport after sealing victory. “I’ve had a few chances to win and I took some really tough times.“To come here this week and do this, come on. I don’t do things by half measures. I can’t believe I’m standing here. That leaderboard, oh my god.“I said to my caddie I didn’t know how I was doing… I said, ‘How are we doing? How far ahead are we?’ He said, ‘Far enough’.“So I was happy with that and a lot of things went right for me, but this has been the most spectacular week… everything about it, it’s just mad. I can’t believe it.”Pointing towards the crowd, the 2019 British Open champion thanked his family for their continued backing. He added: “My mum’s just standing there. It’s been unreal. My wife and my kids are back in Florida.Lowry enjoyed an emphatic victory at DoonbegGetty“When things aren’t going well at this level, it’s hard at home as well, but my wife’s been a huge support and my kids, and I love them so much and I’m so happy just for them. I can’t wait to bring a trophy home.“My daughters always ask me, ‘When are you going to bring a trophy home?’ So yes, I get to bring one home.”Lowry was one of only two Irish players to finish under par at the 2026 Irish Open.The other, 26-year-old Liam Nolan, was tied for 31st place at three under par.Last year’s champion Rory McIlroy, who successfully defended his Masters crown earlier this year, finished tied 41st at one under par having described the wind-affected first round as possibly the longest he’d ever played.Lowry clarifies comments about marshalsLowry’s glorious weekend wasn’t entirely without controversy, though.Lowry was criticised for an outburst earlier in the tournamentGettyDuring the third round, after hitting a stray tee shot on the 18th hole, on-course microphones picked up comments he made about volunteer marshals ‘deserving to be hit’.“S***. FORE! FORE!” Lowry shouted. “They deserved to get hit.”He has since responded to backlash he received, explaining: “Marshals obviously have a very tough job and they are volunteers, but they get a little bit in the way sometimes.“There was just two guys going across the fairway as I’m trying to hit the shot and it’s playing really hard. It was carnage out there.”
