Shane Lowry delivered a competitive performance but faltered at the end of the third round, finishing with a score of 72. With Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau leading, Lowry's chances of winning the Masters are now minimal. In a post-round interview, he expressed disappointment over how he finished but remained focused on the next day’s potential, highlighting the mental challenges of athletes after tough competition. His refusal to dwell on comparisons with McIlroy underscored his desire to concentrate on winning rather than on past interactions.
Yeah, I felt like I let a really good day go there at the end, so I'm obviously disappointed. But just have to pick myself up and get some rest tonight and get after it tomorrow.
No, I'm not going to stand here and talk about Rory for 10 minutes. I'm trying to win the tournament, as well. I know that's what y'all want me to talk about, but I've just had a shit finish, I've got a chance to win the Masters tomorrow, and I'm going to go hit some balls.
It's where you want to be. It's what you want to do. It's what you live for. But I want to win this tournament, so I'm pissed off.
Lowry's response highlights the pressure athletes face in media situations, especially following a disappointing performance, as he focuses on the upcoming match rather than past events.
