It was an all-Irish success at the Zurich Classic as Rory McIlroy ended his winning drought alongside Shane Lowry as they sent a warning to their rivals over at LIV Golf
Shane Lowry and Rory McIlroy won the Zurich Classic of New Orleans after beating Martin Trainer and Chad Ramey in a dramatic play-off for the title.
McIlroy and Lowry managed a birdie on the final hole of the course to finish 25-under-par and force a playoff against Trainer and Ramey, who had finished their final round hours earlier. It took a chipped effort from Lowry and a birdie putt from McIlroy to force an extended session, one that Trainer and Ramey didn't look prepared for.
A narrowly-missed putt from Trainer handed McIlroy and Lowry the win on Sunday, with the Irish duo vowing to defend their title next season. It was the 25th career-win on the PGA Tour for McIlroy, but he claims his latest success wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for Lowry. "It couldn't be better than to do it with this man alongside me." Lowry then shared his thoughts on the win, expressing more relief than satisfaction. "It's great. It felt much needed," Lowry said."Coming into the week we felt we could do with a big jump for the FedEx Cup, let's get 400 points each and that's what we've done. I feel a little bit bad taking them because Rory carried me, but I'm taking them.
