Lowry year hits new high with love match

Shane Lowry might be chasing a $1.25m (€1m) pay day in Sun City this week but he’s already feeling like a winner after breaking into the world’s Top 50 and getting engaged.

The 27-year old Offaly man proposed to his girlfriend Wendy Iris Honner in Dubai last week, getting down on one knee on the beach to pop the question to the girl whose name is even stamped on one of his wedges.
