A biography for Shane Lowryhasn’t been written yet.
“Obviously I never played the Walker Cup because winning the Irish Open at Baltray in 2009 changed everything and I jumped over to the professional game.”
“Golf is a weird sport and you never know what's around the corner.”
“I've always had a bit of extra weight.”
“You're managing your way around the course when the weather gets bad, as opposed to trying to do anything drastic.”
“What happened, happened with regards me and the Walker Cup... and personally it has all worked out great.”
“It can seem harder to make the cut than to get into contention.”
“Sport, as I've discovered myself, isn't easy. There are plenty of ups and plenty of downs and, unfortunately, most of the time the downs outweigh the ups.”
“I'm not one for writing down my goals on paper.”
“I am quite lucky that I've surrounded myself with a lot of good people.”
“I see players and caddies as being colleagues on tour, all part of the one family.”
“When a caddie says to you, 'Come on, let's hole this putt,' you turn around and go, 'What am I'm trying to do? Do you think I'm trying to miss it?'”
“It is easy to second guess yourself, easy to stop doing what you are doing and to try new things.”
“All that people in Ireland asked me was: 'When are you going to win a major?' They don't think you've made it unless you win a major.”
“I'm loyal, don't really like to change things. So the decision to change my grip and my putter wasn't an easy one to make.”
“When I do win my first Major it will definitely be a week that stands out and I can go, 'I learned a lot there.'”
“I know I am good enough to play in the Ryder Cup. I know I'd definitely bring a lot to the team and to the team room.”
“I'm not a politician.”
“A lot about golf is do with backing yourself to play well when you do play.”
“If I'm entirely truthful, as a boy growing up in Clara, when that first putter was put in my hands, the thought of holing a putt to win a big tournament never took me to China.”
“You can't start in this game saying, 'I'm gonna make money playing it.'”
