WATCH: Emotional Shane Lowry celebrates after winning the PGA Championship at Wentworth

Shane Lowry won the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth on Sunday. 

Having seen Patrick Reid and John Rahm shoot excellent final rounds, the Offaly golfer held his nerve to shoot a final round of seven under par to take the lead in the clubhouse on 17 under par. 

He had a nervous wait however as next down the par 5 18th was Rory McIroy who needed an eagle to tie his good friend. 

McIlroy's putt for eagle stopped just short cueing these scenes of relief and celebration from Shane Lowry and his team

Shane has come close to winning on many occasions this year but on Sunday, he finally got over the line.
