Shane Lowry believes he can challenge for back-to-back major victories in the US PGA Championship if he can find his feet on the greens at Harding Park.

Lowry's defence of the Claret Jug has been put on hold until 2021 by the cancellation of this year's Open Championship at Royal St George's, while the Masters and US Open have been postponed until November and September respectively.
