Shane Lowry held off a spirited fightback from Jordan Spieth to send the three-time major winner crashing out of the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play.

Lowry had already been eliminated following defeats by Taylor Montgomery and Mackenzie Hughes, his fifth and sixth match play losses of the year after he lost all four of his matches in January’s Hero Cup.
