Shane Lowry: 'I told him his golf isn’t incredible, but it’s much better than my tennis'

Shane Lowry said the hardest part of his putt which retained the Ryder Cup for Europe was seeing vice-captain José María Olazábal crying as he addressed the ball.

Shane Lowry is sure there's going to be a comedown soon from the high of Europe winning the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black 10 days ago, but it hasn't come yet.

The Offalyman tees off this week at the Spanish Open. He hasn't played a whole lot of golf since realising a lifelong dream: holing the putt which ensured Team Europe at the very least would retain the Ryder Cup.
