Ridge ensuring Lowry has a bright future on the horizon

THE TUG-OF-LOVE that ensued between the rival agencies for Shane Lowry’s signature after his remarkable victory in the 3 Irish Open was always going to end in favour of Conor Ridge’s Dublin-based Horizon Sports Management.

Ridge has kept a close eye on all the young, developing Irish golfers over the past number of years and had earmarked Lowry for success ever before his exploits at Baltray.

The point is well made by the young Offaly man’s presence at the Horizon barbecue on the eve of the tournament.
