Professional golfer Shane Lowry was born in Mullingar, County Westmeath, Republic of Ireland, on April 2, 1987. He has won five amateur titles, including the 2008 West of Ireland Championship.
He turned professional in 2009 and made his debut at the European Open; however, he failed to make the cut with a 73 in round two. Moreover, he missed a couple more cuts and finally had a noteworthy finish at the Dunlop Phoenix Tournament, where he tied for third.
At the 2012 Portugal Masters, Lowry won his first professional tournament after shooting 67 to share the lead with Ross Fisher, who lost the last hole after missing a four-foot putt. Following his victory in the August 2015 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, two strokes ahead of Bubba Watson in second place, Lowry accepted a spot on the PGA Tour for the 2015-16 season.
At the 2016 U.S. Open, he lost to Dustin Johnson by three strokes, finishing tied for second place with Jim Fukryk and Scott Piercy. But he did win his first major championship in the 2019 Open Championship, where he defeated Tommy Fleetwood by an amazing six strokes with a total of 269, under 15. At the end of the third round, he led by four strokes after shooting a new course record of 63.
In 2022, Lowry won his sixth professional victory at the BMW PGA Championship. However, the tournament was cut short to 54 holes because of Operation London Bridge, Queen Elizabeth II's funeral. He defeated Rory McIlory and Jon Rahm with a score of 199, under 17.
Shane Lowry’s Caddie
Shane Lowry's caddie is Darren Reynolds as of June 2024.
In many interviews, Shane has praised his caddie's abilities. He said that Darren has a good sense of humor, which has made a positive impact on their working relationship on the course. In the past, Reynolds has collaborated with golfers such as Roger Chapman, Paul Dunne, and Paul McGinley. In addition, he collaborated with Antoine Rozner on two victories on the DP World Tour.
Lowry's previous caddie was Brian "Bo" Martin; their partnership began in late 2018. Martin was a former caddie for Peter Lawrie and Gary Murphy. Before moving on to Dane Lucas Bjerregaard, who also happened to win the same tournament in 2017, he also worked with Frenchman Alex Levy, who won the Portugal Masters in 2014.
Dermot Byrne, an Irishman, was Lowry's first looper; the two had been together for around nine years. The collaboration formally began after Lowry emerged victorious in the 2009 amateur Irish Open. But as his game declined, it appeared that their bond did too. It came to an official end in July or August of 2018. Alan, Lowry's brother, temporarily took over before Martin took over a full-time role.
However, Lowry's management company, Horizon Sports Management, announced the pair's 2023 split. At the time, it was said that they had lost their "chemistry" or "spark," which was the cause of their split.
