Winner: Shane Lowry
Around the wider world of golf: Hannah Burke won the Tipsport Golf Masters on the LET; Gerina Piller (on the LPGA) better get to work because her husband Martin just made the Digital Ally Open his second win this season on the Web.com Tour; Jeff Maggert made the Shaw Charity Classic his third win of the season on the Champions Tour; and JJ Henry beat Kyle Reifers at the Barracuda Championship, the alternate field event on the PGA Tour.
Firestone CC broke Jim Furyk's heart all over again... However this time it took Justin Rose, Bubba Watson and assorted different golfers alongside for the journey.
And within the process it delivered American golf fans to Shane Lowry.
Well, maybe a number of you knew who he become. If you watch any of the ET insurance on GC, you have seen him quite often. I recognise I've enjoyed looking him play. In case he's new to you, let me come up with a quick advent to the latest WGC champ.
His career as an novice became quite amazing; except the typical titles like the 2007 Irish Amateur Close Championship and the 2008 Sotogrande Nations Cup, he become most effective the 0.33 newbie to win a professional tournament -- the 2009 Irish Open that won him his European Tour card. He added the 2012 Portugal Masters and a couple of runner-up finishes considering the fact that. But this WGC is virtually his coming out celebration in America.
There could be a number of speak about his quick sport -- it IS pretty tremendous -- and that wedge he hoisted over a tree at the 10th hole. You realize, the Bubba-esque shot that stopped a mere foot from the hole for a faucet-in birdie. Oh yeah, and that approach through the timber on 18 that locked up the win. If you've visible any of the ET coverage, none of that clearly amazed you.
There will possibly also be a few talk of where he got that tough mindset; look no farther than his father Brendan, who his ET bio says become a well-known Gaelic footballer who gained the All-Ireland Championship with County Offaly in 1982. Tough guys, the ones Gaelic footballers... No pads.
But I suppose all you have to do is observe the man himself. He has a operating man's attitude; he appreciates what he has and the work -- and assist -- it took to get it. I think American fanatics could be as drawn to Shane Lowry as the Irish fanatics are.
I desired to do something special for Shane's first PGA Tour win. Perhaps I've seen too many horrific leprechaun films however I assume this Limerick Summary sounds kind of Irish. I wish he likes it!
An Irish Houdini he become!
Lowry?S quick recreation created a buzz
First at domestic, now overseas.
And his new fans applaud
As he joins a new Tour, yes he does. The photo comes from the sports section at the RTÉ site. (Yes, it's an Irish site. What did you expect?)
