Shane Lowry wins the Association of Golf Writers' Golfer of the Year award

Shane Lowry landed another accolade on Monday when he received the Golfer of the Year award.

The Co Offaly native beat the winning European Solheim Cup team to the title, which is given out by the Association of Golf Writers.

Lowry enjoyed an incredible 2019, landing the Open Championship at Royal Portrush in July and was also named the RTE Sportsperson on the Year over the weekend.

On his latest win, Lowry said: "It is a huge personal honour for me to be voted as the 2019 Golfer of the Year by the Association of Golf Writers and it's many members around the world.

"To be chosen by the men and women who report on our game across the globe on a weekly basis is very special and it’s an honour to join the illustrious names on the Golf Writers Trophy, which includes many multiple major winners and Ryder Cup captains.

'"I very much look forward to celebrating this award with all of the golf writers at the annual AGW dinner at Royal St George’s ahead of my Open Championship defence next summer."
