Shane Lowry is hoping to step up and produce two top performances over the next two weeks so he can go to Rome and “show people what I'm made of” as Europe bids to avenge that 19-9 Ryder Cup hammering at Whistling Straits in 2021.

The Clara man was a captain’s pick for the second Ryder Cup running and while he admits that his form has not been what he’d hoped for, he tees it up in the Horizon Irish Open at The K Club and then defends the BMW PGA at Wentworth next week, believing he can head to Rome with his game in perfect shape.
