Donald Trump makes huge Irish promise at Shane Lowry victory speech

Not bad!

The Clara man won by an astonishing 11 shots at the Trump-owned course, and he capped it off with a classy birdie on the 18th.

The President of the United States awarded the trophy to Lowry, and used his speech as an opportunity to announce that the US will be taking tariffs off Irish whiskey, which led to huge cheers from the Irish crowd.

He said: "I want to mention one thing. Taoiseach and I talked about it and Shane talked about it and everyone has been bugging me saying 'would you do me a favour? It's so unfair what's going on. Could you possibly take the tariffs off of Irish whiskey?'

"And I said on behalf of the United States of America, I am going to take the tariffs off Irish whiskey."

Irish whiskey, which has a 10% tariff, has been at a disadvantage, with Scotch and Northern Irish whiskey having zero tariffs.

Rory McIlroy didn't fare so well this week, finishing in a tie for 41st.

After a final round of three under par, he said: "Obviously it wasn't the week that I wanted, but at the same time I don’t feel too far away, and I feel good about going into Wentworth next week.

"I thought I hit the ball pretty well for the most part. A couple of bad decisions off the tees yesterday, but overall, iron play was a lot better. That’s getting there.

"Wedge play was pretty good for the most part this week. Obviously it was a struggle on the greens. That was the difficult thing and why I wasn’t able to get myself into contention."
