The Open 2019 winner at Royal Portrush has been chosen to carry the flag for the Irish delegation at the opening ceremony in Paris this Friday. Like Morocco's flag bearer Ines Laclalech!
The Irish love golf, and if further proof was needed, the appointment of Shane Lowry as flag bearer alongside sprinter Sarah Lavin perfectly illustrates an entire people's affinity for the discipline.
In the Emerald Isle, Shane Lowry's notoriety goes beyond golf, especially since his father was a great Gaelic footballer.
“It is a great honor for me and my family. Anyone who knows me knows how patriotic I am and how much I love representing Ireland around the world and playing for my country. Tonight will be special. “ said a visibly emotional Laurie.
