Last night Shane Lowry arrived in his home town of Clara with the Claret Jug after his historic Open win on Sunday in Royal Portrush.
Henry McKean was there on Clara main street and followed the heroes welcome and sent us this exclusive report. Up to 20,000 people showed up from across the midlands for the homecoming. There is noise and pushing and shoving from the beginning.
Live from Clara, county Offaly with Mundy, uncles of Shane Lowry and Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh.
