Shane Lowry ready to light up Firestone

Shane Lowry will use this fortnight of competition in the States to finally establish himself well inside the top-50 on the world rankings.

Lowry has been on the top-50 ranking ‘bubble’ since last November when he moved to 47th, and into the top-50 for a first occasion in his career, following his fifth place in the season-ending DP World Tour Championship.

The Carton House-attached pro will tee up in today’s WGC – Bridgestone Invitational in Akron, Ohio ranked 48th in the world.
