Xander Schauffele Wins 2024 Open Championship

Shane Lowry expressed deep disappointment after finishing sixth at The Open, despite leading the tournament at one point and playing what he described as 'unbelievable golf' for most of the week. A poor third-round 77 significantly impacted his chances, although he managed a strong final round. Xander Schauffele clinched the Claret Jug, marking his second major win of 2024. The tournament also saw a notable presence from LIV Golf participants, with 18 players making the cut, including Jon Rahm and Dustin Johnson. As the focus shifts to the next Open at Royal Portrush, where Lowry previously won in 2019, the anticipation remains high for another successful event, with past tournaments significantly boosting local tourism and investment.
