Shane Lowry (golfer)
Shane Lowry (born 2 April 1987) is an Irish professional golfer who plays on the European Tour and PGA Tour.
==Amateur career==
Lowry was born in Clara, County Offaly, the son of Offaly 1982 All-Ireland winning footballer Brendan Lowry. He learned his early golf at Esker Hills Golf Club, where he began his amateur career. He attended Athlone Institute of Technology as a scholarship student on the Higher Certificate in Sport and Recreation.
Shane Lowry was the 2007 Irish Amateur Close Champion, defeating Niall Turner 4 & 3 in the final. While still an amateur in May 2009, he won The 3 Irish Open on the European Tour, defeating Robert Rock on the third hole of a sudden death playoff. The win, on his tour début, made him just the third amateur to win on the European Tour, following Danny Lee earlier in the 2009 season, and Pablo Martín in 2007. Lowry shot a 62 to equal the lowest ever by an amateur on the circuit and led from the second round onwards.
With this win, he entered the Official World Golf Ranking as an amateur at No. 168 and reached a career high of 6th in the World Amateur Golf Ranking.〔(Walker Cup squad members prove luck of the Irish ), 20 May 2009〕 Walker Cup captain Colin Dagleish described the win as "fairytale stuff", adding: "You'd have to say that Shane's victory was the biggest (of the three amateur wins). To win your own national Open is quite something. It was unbelievable, it really was."〔 The win was all the more remarkable because it was only the second home win since 1982 and the first since Pádraig Harrington in 2007.〔 Harrington himself was also full of praise: "It’s fabulous for Irish golf. You only have to look at the fact it is such a rarity for an amateur to win, such a rarity for an Irish player to win the Irish Open. So, on a lot of fronts, it is a big deal. It was very impressive."
