Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry shared a hilarious moment following the third round of the 2024 Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
At the PGA Tour event, the Irishmen were joined by CBS announcer Amanda Renner for an interview when they showed a video of Shane Lowry missing a shot as his tee ball landed in the water on the 16th. But McIlroy covered it, and they scored a birdie on the hole
Seeing the video, Lowry asked to show some birdies, and in support of his partner, Rory McIlroy pointed out an incredible shot Lowry made on the 17th hole against the stern wind to settle for a par.
Speaking of the shot, McIlroy said (via Golf Digest):
“That was a huge shot just to keep..."
However, before he could finish the sentence, Lowry said:
"See, he’s trying to make me feel good."
Which made Rory laugh as he said:
"I’m a good teammate.”
