Shane Lowry vows to continue celebrating his Open win as he gets set to return home

Shane Lowry has vowed to keep the celebrations going after his Open win on Sunday.

The Offaly man will return to his native county tonight for the first time since lifting the Claret jug.

Lowry admits he "hasn't stopped going since Sunday", but there's no sign of the celebrations stopping anytime soon.

He told Sky Sports News: "I think we might be celebrating for another couple of days. What a crazy few days it's been.

"I haven't stopped going since Sunday and it's just been unbelievable. The amount of messages and support I get is incredible as well.

"I haven't really let go of it (the Claret Jug) for the last 48 hours. I didn't know whether I would ever achieve something like this, so to win the Open Championship in Portrush is a dream come true."
