Lowry believes Carton should change course

“I’d love to be back here. I think it would be a great tournament on the O’Meara.

The big post-mortem will take place in the coming days but if were up to Shane Lowry, the 2014 Irish Open will be played on the stunning O’Meara Course at Carton House.

The 26-year old Offaly man has a home overlooking the Montgomerie’s sister course and firmly believes it would be “something special” as a venue if the European Tour, Carton House and sponsors Fáilte Ireland decide to return to the Maynooth venue for a fourth time next year.
