COVID CONUNDRUM: Shane Lowry admits he doesn't know when he will see home again after the Government introduced new quarantine measures for visitors from countries such as the US, where he is now domiciled.

SHANE Lowry believes that July's Irish Open at Mount Juliet has been thrown into doubt by the Government's new quarantine measures for a number of countries. 

Lowry, who finished in a tie for 21st at the Augusta Masters, said afterwards that the latest Government measures here on incoming travellers and the necessity for quarantining will put the July 1st-4th Open "in trouble."
