Letters to the Editor: Shane Lowry displayed true dignity and honesty at The Open
During the 153rd Open Championship at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Co Antrim, Shane Lowry 'made a decision that won’t earn him a trophy but will stay with many of us far longer. He called a two-stroke penalty on himself.' Picture: Ben Brady/Inpho
In a world too often clouded by conflict, ugliness, division, and noise, there are rare moments that break through like sunlight, reminding us of who we are and who we still can be. One of those moments came not from a political podium or a viral speech, but from a simple, genuine gesture on the windswept fairways of Portrush at The Open Championship and from the heart of a man many of us know not just as a golfer, but as one of our own, Shane Lowry.
With pressure mounting and dreams on the line, Shane made a decision that won’t earn him a trophy but will stay with many of us far longer. He called a two-stroke penalty on himself.
