There is something in the air. At Whistling Straits two years ago, the Ryder Cup was so important to Shane Lowry that he started to cry. He didn’t cry when he won the Open. He didn’t cry when his daughter was born. He was crying again this week.

“Look, it has been an emotional week and even some of the stuff that has happened already this week would get you quite emotional,” he explained at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club just outside of Rome.
