Lowry reveals he was singing viral kids’ hit ‘Baby Shark’ throughout Open final round… as he had played it to baby Iris in car
SHANE LOWRY was the biggest predator at The Open but he revealed he was singing kids hit "Baby Shark"; all the way around on Sunday.
The Offaly man's two-year old daughter Iris joined him in the car on the way to Royal Portrush for the biggest round of his career.
He revealed: "We had to listen to 'Baby Shark' on the way to the course to keep Iris quiet. I swear to God, that’s true.
"We were going around the course singing Baby Shark."
The tune may have helped Lowry keep calm and turn a four-shot lead into a six-shot win and his first major title.
He was so nervous before the round, he admitted he felt sick.
Lowry said: "I hardly had anything on Sunday.
"I had two small slices of brown bread, one slice of bacon and I’d say, one egg scrambled.

"And I didn’t have any lunch. I had a banana and a protein bar on the course just to keep me going.
"I felt sick with nerves all day, even on the course.
"The rest of the week we ate quite well but Sunday was quite hard."
