After Rory McIlroy's victory at the Masters, Shane Lowry was quick to congratulate him, highlighting the bond between the two friends. Despite facing media scrutiny over his performance, Lowry expressed frustration with the focus on McIlroy rather than his own game. He emphasized the need for downtime after rounds to collect his thoughts. However, Lowry's joy for McIlroyâs success was clear, showcasing their friendshipâs strength and Lowryâs ability to separate personal feelings from competitive pressures, finishing the tournament tied for 42nd while McIlroy achieved a career Grand Slam.
McIlroy was crying fresh tears of joy while Lowry was all smiles and lifted up his soon-to-be green-jacketed friend in triumph.
I'm not going to stand here and talk about Rory for 10 minutes... I've just had a s-t finish, I've got a chance to win the Masters tomorrow.
I think we need time. I think I need a half an hour now to sit there and gather my thoughts... It shouldn't be happening. I don't agree with it.
Lowry's excitement after McIlroy's victory proved that the incident stemmed from nothing personal toward his friend.
