Irish golfers Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry emerged victorious in a gripping play-off to claim the coveted Zurich Classic of New Orleans title. After a captivating final round, Lowry’s masterful chip onto the 18th green, followed by McIlroy’s precise birdie putt, extended the contest into a play-off with American duo Martin Trainer and Chad Ramey, who had earlier posted a commendable 63. However, in the ensuing play-off, Trainer and Ramey faltered, allowing McIlroy and Lowry to seize the advantage. Despite Lowry’s missed birdie putt, Trainer’s narrow par putt miss effectively sealed the victory for the Irish pair. This triumph marks McIlroy’s 25th PGA Tour win, further solidifying his status as one of the game’s elite players. Both McIlroy and Lowry expressed their delight and gratitude for the unwavering support they received throughout the tournament. They also declared their intention to return next year to defend their hard-earned title.
