Valhalla a long-hitter's haven but Shane Lowry feels he can be 'dangerous' along with Rory McIlroy

“I feel like we played golf with a lot more freedom that week and I feel like it’s a lesson for the two of us for the rest of the season, to go and play golf how we played that week in New Orleans. I feel like if we can do that, we both can be dangerous in the big tournaments.

Quail Hollow Club, the site of next year’s PGA Championship, has never particularly suited Shane Lowry the way it does Rory McIlroy.

“This suits longer hitters,” Lowry said before McIlroy bombed Quail into submission last week for his fourth win at the Wells Fargo Championship.
