Shane Lowry has delighted golf fans with his performance at the Irish Open. He finished the first day with a score of 69, three under par. The Irish golfer is currently in 12th place, two shots behind the leaders Olesen, Elvira and Langasque.
The famous golfer now has a great foundation for success, but he is aware that he must remain patient in the coming days and show his best.
In an interview with the media after the first round, he pointed out that he did not have a great start, but he is ultimately satisfied with the finish.
He put special emphasis on the birdies that paved the way for him for the following days, and that will be an additional wind at his back.
"Yeah, average start; good finish. Felt like — honestly, I was 1-over through whatever, eight holes, but felt like I hit the ball well. One sloppy three-putt and a sloppy bogey and didn't really hole much.
Then birdie the 18th or 9th and played lovely coming in and gave myself a few chances. Holed a nice putt on the eighth and then was nice to birdie the last. So it was a nice day. Nice way to start the week.."- he said.
Crowd
The famous golfer did not forget to mention the audience, which was great. He has huge support from the local audience, who were impatiently waiting for his arrival at this tournament.
When you have such support, it is certain that you have an additional motive and desire to prove yourself.
If he has the same support, and he will certainly have it in the coming days, Shane Lowry can certainly make a big result in this tournament.
"Yeah, they're great. The Irish crowds are great. We obviously had that at the Open a few weeks ago as well. It was really nice. It's nice to play well in front of them as well, and hopefully I can keep playing all right and give them something to cheer about come Sunday."
