Shane Lowry will support the 20x20 campaign at this week's Irish Open by placing the movement's logo on his shirt in lieu of that of his sponsor.

Making the announcement today, Lowry said that he was promoting the campaign to make sure his daughter has the same opportunities as the boys her age will have.
