A surprise winner bolted ahead of the pack in 2019 at Royal Portrush. Entering the tournament on the heels of four missed cuts, all Irishman Shane Lowry did was better his nearest competitor (Tommy Fleetwood) by six strokes at the first Open in Northern Ireland in 68 years.

Here’s what Lowry had in the bag for his absolutely clinical drubbing of the field on the County Antrim coast five years ago.

• Tiger Woods WITB accurate as of The Open Championship. Per TaylorMade, Woods has swapped his TaylorMade M3 5-wood for the P770 2-iron he had in the bag at the U.S. Open. The 15-time major champion has also added a healthy amount of lead tape to the cavity of his putter. As we learned Wednesday, Woods has switched from a 10.5 degree Qi10 LS to a 9-degree model.
