Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry spoke to the media after the pair won the Zurich Classic in New Orleans, recounting the final round that saw them edge out a host of teams.
yeah that was huge um obviously wasn’t ideal we already H the bunker off the te but I’m like fa bunkers for me are not like they’re strong part of my game and I’m pretty confident about them so I knew once I had a decent li like I knew once to see the ball bounce and and what didn’t BR that I knew I was going to have a swing and a shot at it and yeah 140 to the pin 11 just W uh hit a lovely shot and just left of it probably not really where I was a and pull a little bit but um two gone all but that kind of freed us up a little bit the last couple H but then I hit a 4ti on 1 but like you know wind was kind of slightly out I left at 1 today and I just couldn’t get myself to started off the water you know because there’s all sort of all sorts of trouble over there Gaters and everything and you know we knew you know in my head I thought if I miss the green right Rory’s good chipper we get it up and down and wear last win that’s what I was thinking uh we didn’t obviously get it up and down but we already last into the playoff and then we were fortunate to w win on the f f yeah the thought was um you that that green or that bll has been good house over the weekend we made a birdie there yesterday and then you know we had another one today uh I looked at it quite a bit um it broke a lot yeah it probably broke a a good couple of feet um I don’t know what the camera angle was on TV but you know there was a lot of break in it and it was one of those where like speed was more important than line I just had to give the speed right and sort of match it up and um yeah that was that was a huge part and not really you know obviously should said we we went you know 17 but you know that you know that that was a huge cut and give us that little bit of a cushion that we could you know get away with picking a boogie on on 17 which is probably playing the toughest hold but of the D yeah I mean I think that was to our advantage today um you know I you know feel for Martin and Chad a little bit you know they they played as unbelievable run to golage 63 in those conditions out there in for is is super impressive so yeah to be sitting around and not really knowing you know they might be in a playoff they might not be um and then to you know I’m sure they had OB had time to warm up and everything but it’s still it’s a it’s different than us just coming straight back you know off the golf course you know and add straight back into it so I think because that we probably had a little bit of an advantage on on the playoff walk uh I don’t think they need to try I think we’re coming back we be here I would be here anyway I’ll be here waiting from I think i’ I I’ve like I’ve gone through a little bit over the last couple of months not few weeks few tournaments where I’ve struggled on the greens a little bit I changed my foter this week feels really good but I’m just not trusting it as well as I would like um I missed a couple of short puts to kind of gets me down a little bit but Rory was there back me up this week and he was a great teammate and you know he made me beli in myself and yeah it’s it was good to have him there to do that so yeah I think as well it takes the pressure off you know I hit a for t- Shell on 60 for example today and then in the chain people went ahe and get a great second shot and sort of you know not make it to shot trying our hardest no we’re not trying to bad shots and we don’t say sorry and we’re you know we can all and do our best and see lean back
