Shane Lowry congratulated on Open Championship win by 'Ger Loughnane' in hilarious video

Irish impressionist Conor Moore had GAA legend Ger Loughnane joining in on the celebrations of Shane Lowry's Open victory.

Lowry has been in party mood since his historic six-shot win at Royal Portrush and spent Monday afternoon at The Boar's Head on Capel Street in Dublin.

The Clara was mobbed by well-wishers and among those congratulating him on lifting the Claret Jug was former Clare hurler Loughnane.

Moore, who has gained a huge following for his impressions of various sports figures, mimicked Loughnane and Lowry's fellow golfer Ian Poulter.

The crowd lapped it up before celebrations continued in Clara on Tuesday night where up to 10,000 people flocked to salute congratulate the 32-year-old's historic moment.

Lowry said: “It’s just incredible. I suppose I didn’t know if I was good enough to ever win something like this.

“I didn’t think I’d ever be having something like this in Clara.

“I’m so overwhelmed at the minute. I can’t believe what’s going on, it’s been a crazy few days.”
