Putting faith in Shane wins mum €15,000

CLARA was one big golfing party last night as celebrations for local hero Shane Lowry’s Irish Open victory continued into a second day.

But it wasn’t just the 22-year-old sporting sensation’s achievement that was being hailed – numerous individuals were also revelling in their own good fortune after backing him at long odds at the bookies long before his Baltray victory seemed possible.

Shane’s mum was among those who put their money where their faith was.
