Lowry layoff has reignited hunger ahead of Dunhill

Shane Lowry has reset his goals and regained his hunger for the game as he looks to build on the biggest win of his career.

Lowry won the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in August but has played just once since his memorable victory at Firestone Country Club, missing the cut in the following week’s US PGA Championship.

The 28-year-old has enjoyed reflecting on his success in Akron and feels the six-week break will work in his favour in the closing stages of the season, starting with this week’s Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.
