The mural on Causeway Street in Portrush commemorates Shane Lowry's 2019 Open victory and symbolizes Ireland's unity behind its athletes. Lowry recalls feeling immense pressure leading into the final round and acknowledges it as one of the hardest experiences of his sporting life. Despite the challenges, he emphasizes the importance of celebrating achievements and enjoying the moment. Lowry acknowledges advice from fellow players regarding cherishing victories and reflects on the pressure of performing under expectations, particularly after his experience at the 2016 US Open.
The gable end of a house on Causeway Street in Portrush delivers a reminder of Shane Lowry's Open triumph in 2019. The fantastic mural not only depicts Lowry with the Claret Jug in hand, but how Ireland, whether north or south, unites behind its sportspeople.
It is what you work for and everything you dream of, but it was one of the toughest 24 hours of my life, in sporting terms, says Lowry. You don't sleep. People are definitely tense around you. It is a tough place.
