The Emotional Return Home of a Major Champion | Shane Lowry | Roots

[@kennywidd]

He's a true Champion. To win the Irish Open as an amateur is an amazing feat. Then to go and win the Open Championship in his home Country, is off the charts!

[@derekga6973]

The true pride of Ireland, what a great sports person dad and all round good human being, the Mcgregors of this world could learn a lot from a true sport legend and Irish man like him, best of luck to Shane and the family

[@AwRighttttt]

He's a fenian not a kowardly 'human being' bla bla F away of with that .. Thats something you must learn never mind being a koward crying about mcgregirs and 'human beings' 😴😴

I’m an Irish man living in the UK and this video for some reasons makes me emotional

[@truthisstrangerthanfishin7472]

I cried so many times during this amazing production I was never sure why I really like Shane Lowry so much and now I understand such a beautiful story and such a wonderful family and friends these are the true fairy tales of our times good on you Shane

[@stevenduffy]

If anyone ever asks you what it's like being Irish, what is Irish culture like? Show them this. This, I think, is the epitome of what the heart of Irish culture is really like!!

[@VS-zv7cx]

This warms my heart, how most Irish people were brought up. And I miss it, being 20 years in America now. I’m from Northern Ireland and a Rory fan, but I’ll fly any Irish flag, strong and true. Because at the end of the day, I’m proud to be Irish.

[@frankconway6760]

An absolute gem of a documentary about an absolutely superb man whom the whole country is so proud of and what a great role model he is for all young sports kids.......Granny is a dote and sings like a lark.

[@alanmurphy6427]

What an amazing player and what an amazing man. He is a credit to his parents. He clearly is very grounded and hasn't let the fame get to his head. I definitely want to go to his new pub! Would love to see him win the Irish Open in The K Club in 2023. Good man Shane! Great production too from the DP World Tour.

[@DidiPort]

Could be the best Golf Video I have seen. He was a good lad and still is. So real and authentic - I just realised what gave him that tough edge you need to succeed, he played Hurling! Those guys are absolutely crazy! Jokes aside he is one of my favourite players, he is very humble. Please youngsters of today look at people like this, what a great role model, care for family, well mannered, believes in where came from his home town - this exceptional. We can learn so much from the likes of Mr Lowery.

Living in Australia some 16 years, I have 4 kids under seven so haven’t been home in 5 years. I showed this to my kids today, and they loved it Can’t wait to get home next year with them so they can see their nan. “A rover I have been and a rover I will stay but to the Faithful county I will return someday “

@@hugofallon3724 Exactly what I said. Faithful to your country means never leaving it and having FENIAN kids. It's realy simple! That's what you'd call faithful

[@henrymcvey6538]

[@koenrutten496]

I think this video says more about being Irish than anything else. So much of who Shane is (and McIlroy for that matter) has to do with the growing up in Ireland. Lovely to see.

[@richo2501]

OMG, what does that turd McIlroy have to do with this decent, humble, awesome guy like Shane Lowry. Why do you have to even bring him up in the same breath. Lowry is a class act. McIlroy is an overgrown child who throws his toys out of the cot all the time. Nothing but a baby with millions in the bank. Leave McIlroy out of it.

[@ErikKullgren]

Possibly the best video ever produced by the European Tour. Wonderful. This is we love Shane, Rory, Tommy etc. History, tradition and culture is everything.

[@larazeesk7080]

What a beautiful genuine family - he has always been extremely humble and grateful -

[@gary44445555]

What a brilliant short doc on our national treasure that is Shane Lowry

[@annahayman5069]

My parents came from about 25 mins drive from Offalay (Clara) a place named Portlaoise . Two little towns Mountrath and Mountmellick. We would go every summer school holidays to see family, over 50 yrs ago. Lovely memories of my Grannie, aunts, uncles and cousins. 🇮🇪🇬🇧❤

[@paulbergin6301]

I think Shane's wife comes from Mountrath.

[@FrankOBrien-ti7ny]

​@@paulbergin6301I wouldn't think so. An Offaly man would never marry a Laois woman.

[@johndomnicdowney7296]

I had the pleasure of meeting Shane in a hostilery recently....what a super guy.. grounded and a hero to the working class ...legend is often used.....but this man is one....

[@ruatoomey9107]

You can’t beat family, all in it together. Well done the Lowrys.

[@mariovanrompaey9291]

The comment about Offaly winning An all Ireland final being up there with winning the Open at Royal Portrush speaks volumes of the man, it's not about the money, it's about what you stand for that counts. Good man on and off the course.

[@jdermody1]

Just to say about his home course Esker Hills... The welcome is that friendly, lovely club and great course (a gem you won't forget in a hurry)... Can't praise it high enough...

[@RobChinn]

Wholesome on some whole other level .. ❤️

[@rokerdog]

Amazing . No wonder Shane is such a great person .

[@mrf1019]

Comes across extremely humble and genial, a typical small town boy. I remember at the 2019 he was the third most popular player there behind GMac and Darren, the support for him was superb. So likeable and deserves every success.

Proud achievement for Shane and the whole country of Ireland. Plenty more chapters to write in the Lowry golfing book. Mon Shaneo

[@deniswatts4574]

Offaly and Kerry in THAT All Ireland is perhaps, along with some Dublin and Kerry games in the 70s, are the most iconic games of football in the history of the GAA. Think Kerry as Barcelona going for their 5th champions league in a row and someone like Aston Villa beating them in the final with a goal 5 minutes into injury time..

[@conorlynch9197]

[@davidcorcoran9959]

Shane's dad was probably the most underrated player on that offaly team. He could pick off scores from well out the field when offaly really needed them. Some people would know that he was also a classy soccer player. Athlone town used implore him to sign for them, and that was back when they were the best team in the league of ireland, won two league titles back then. His first love was gaelic football though, and who could blame him. But for the fact that they coincided with that great kerry team, i reckon offaly would have added more all irelands back then.
