Jack Nicklaus believes Shane Lowry will learn valuable lessons from defeat

Nicklaus says Shane will learn from defeat

Jack Nicklaus is convinced that Shane Lowry will learn from his US Open disappointment - just as Rory McIlroy learned from losing the Masters in 2011.

The Golden Bear was at Royal Dublin with McIlroy and Lowry yesterday as part of a corporate day and just as McIlroy always said that the Masters meltdown of 2011 was the most important day of his career, Sunday’s reverse can also be a positive for Lowry.
