Shane Lowry is the 148th Open Champion.
The hugely popular Irishman held his nerve on Sunday to earn his first major at Royal Portrush .
Lowry won by an incredible six shots over England's Tommy Fleetwood to seal his win.
An incredible roar greeted Lowry as he walked up the 18th, and the decibel levels were ramped up when he was presented with the Claret Jug.
As the rain pelted down on the north coast, the tributes poured in on Twitter.
A number of famous sports people shared their congratulations, including Belfast boxer Carl Frampton.
Frampton - currently in America preparing for his fight on August 10 - tweeted the simple message: "Shane Lowry.... That is all"
It was in response to an identical tweet Lowry made in July 2016 after Frampton defeated Leo Santa Cruz in New York to become WBA featherweight world champion.
The Jackal defied the odds to become Northern Ireland's first-ever two-weight world champion when he beat Santa Cruz three years ago.
The 32-year-old North Belfast boxer will be hoping to write his own headlines later in the year when he hopefully fights for a world title.
First up its Emmanuel Dominguez on Saturday, August 10 in Philidelphia.
