Lowry feels “rejuvenated” and as prepared as he could be in his bid to become the first player to win consecutive British Opens at the same course since Tiger Woods at St. Andrews in 2000 and ’05.

Missing the cut at the past two majors hasn't dimmed Shane Lowry's confidence as the Irishman returns to the scene of his greatest triumph this week.

It is a strong test for elite golfers, and a very difficult one for amateurs and the average golfer. It was found as the County Club in 1888 and became the Royal County Club in 1892. In 1895 it became Royal Portrush.

If we have any quarrel with the mural, it's that Lowry stands alone. Portrush proper is home to barely 6,000 souls, yet the R&A expects over a quarter-million pilgrims this week. The mathematics should spell chaos, but when an entire community vibrates at the same frequency—when everyone wants to be here—logistics become footnotes. It just works.

Shane Lowry delivered among the most epic wins in Irish golf history. At Portrush 10 years later, he did it again. Now? He's chasing a third act.
