Lowry's Open Win Rated Ireland's Greatest Sporting Moment Of 2019

The Offaly man made history this summer.

Shane Lowry's win at The Open Championship in Portrush, Co Antrim, has been rated Ireland's Greatest Sporting Moment of 2019.

A Teneo Sports survey shows the Offaly golfer's first Major just pipped Katie Taylor, after she became a two-weight world champion.

However, the Bray boxer has been crowned Ireland's Most Admired Sports Star for a third year in a row.

Ireland's Team of the Year is shared between Dublin's five-in-a-row footballers and Ireland's Olympics-bound women's hockey team.

Meanwhile Ireland's favourite sport remains Gaelic Games, which came out just ahead of soccer, with rugby in third.
