Amazing scenes.
Shane Lowry has won the Bridgestone Invitational this evening finishing on -11 which was two shots ahead of Bubba Watson in second place.
The Offaly man’s week consisted of a 70, 66, 67, and a final round 66 which means he’s won a staggering €1.4m for the win..
Here’s how Twitter has been reacting.
What a show, Shane Lowry. Congratulations to the WGC-Bridgestone winner. #QuickHits http://t.co/Qb7Z4jkiua

Pretty awesome from Lowry just there. No doubt wouldn't be bad off his right from 50 yards either. #GolfingMasterClass

Shane Lowry's first three wins in pro events came in 2009, '12 and '15. Going out on a limb and saying we won't wait until '18 for next one.
