The recently concluded Zurich Classic of New Orleans saw the European duo of Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry work together once again. The only team event of the PGA Tour saw them join forces and take home the crown through a playoff. During the celebrations of the win, the fun side of McIlroy came out.

The North Irish golfer was spotted singing on the stage in front of hundreds of fans. He would go on to belt out a rendition of ‘Don’t Stop Believin‘. This would soon go viral on social media which left many fans shocked.

When asked about this at a press conference ahead of the Wells Fargo Championship, Shane Lowry would hilariously react to it. The three-time PGA Tour winner compared the golfing and singing of his fellow Ryder Cup teammate and claimed that the former was his strong point.

He’s a better golfer than singer thankfully for him… I couldn’t believe he was doing it, to be honest. I was just standing on the side. He kind of got blindsided into doing it, so fair play to him.

Shane Lowry said on Rory McIlroy’s singing in a press conference.

Lowry also went on to give details about the celebration. The 37-year-old informed that he and Rory McIlroy drank some “nice stuff” and celebrated the “good times“.

We had a pretty good Wednesday night. We drank some nice stuff… I’ve been on tour I’ve been playing 16 years and I’ve only won seven times. So you got to celebrate the good times too.

Shane Lowry admits going hard on himself after poor performances

In the past few seasons, Shane Lowry has suffered several heartbreaks while coming close to winning and has gone on to experience some poor days. The Irish golfer has admitted that all these setbacks had led him to being hard on himself.

Things are now looking a bit different for him though as the win at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans seems to have sorted out that issue for Lowry.

When you’re not shooting the scores you feel like you should be shooting, it becomes difficult. Yeah, I’ve just been hard on myself, the days were getting tougher and tougher and yeah, New Orleans sorted that.

Shane Lowry said in a press conference.

Lowry will enter this signature event with momentum on his side. He will tee off at the 11:22 AM EDT time alongside Xander Schauffele and Wyndham Clark. With a T4 and T3 finish at the Cognizant Classic and the Arnold Palmer Invitational respectively, Lowry will be fancy his chances of going for the win.
