Shane Lowry talks about his execution of an ace at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am
Shane Lowry made the eagle on the 16th hole. He described that the shot wasn't easy and that it took him patience to play it correctly. He added that the big bounce after he took the shot helped him make the eagle, and the ball spun enough to get into the hole.
“It is an easy shot, but you still need to play it correctly…For me it was a 54(-degree wedge). I probably could have got lob wedge there but it was a 54. Try to just like flight one down and chase it up the green and get it up there somewhere close to the hole. It came out lovely just left of the hole, which is where you need to pitch it if you want to get it real close. Yeah, big bounce, it was perfect. It just spun and spun right into the hole. It was pretty cool,” Shane Lowry said, via PGA Tour.
Lowry talked about his previous eagles at Augusta National and TPC Sawgrass. He stated:
“I've been very lucky with all the 1s…There and Augusta and Sawgrass. Yeah, I don't know what to say, I guess it's just luck of the Irish or something, I don't know. I know I'm pretty good at times, but you know, a bit of luck every now and then is helpful, too.”
Shane Lowry is tied at T8 after the first round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and he's one shot ahead of Scottie Scheffler on the leaderboard.
