Last night Shane Lowry had the biggest win of his career so far and no-one was happier for the golfer than the fellow members of his home golf club, Eskers Hills in Tullamore.
Lowry pulled off a series of incredible shots to claim a two shot victory at the WGC Bridgestone Invitational in Ohio.

A packed clubhouse in Eskers Hill watched as he held his nerve on the final day to stay in contention and when he birdied the last to win the tournament the reaction was deafening.
And that party is nothing to the celebrations planned for the 28-year-old’s return home.
The popular Offaly man has been a member since he was 12 and the club’s Twitter account proudly proclaims it as “Home to Shane Lowry, Irish golfing legend”.
