Lowry will be bidding to win his second major by getting his hands on the coveted green Jacket at Augusta
Offaly's Shane Lowry showed off his hurling skills during his final preparations before the 2026 US Masters commences on Thursday, April 9.
Lowry will be bidding to win his second major by getting his hands on the coveted green Jacket at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia this weekend.
He finished tied third in the 2022 Masters behind winner Scottie Scheffler and runner-up Rory McIlroy, but will be looking to improve on that record this weekend and add to his memorable Open Championship win in 2019.
A video posted to his Facebook, which Lowry captioned: 'Evenings at Augusta #Masters' shows him striking the sliotar down the fairway of the iconic golf course.
