Lowry shows major mindset after passing test of mental strength

Majors are a test of mental strength, and Shane Lowry felt as much a winner as Brooks Koepka following his gutsy tie for eighth alongside Rory McIlroy in the US PGA at Bethpage Black.

Nobody shot lower than Lowry’s three-under par total over the weekend, and while Koepka will again be the man to beat in the US Open at Pebble Beach next month, the Clara man has no problem admitting that the tougher the test, the better he feels.
