"Happy St. Patrick's Day"

Speaking via Irish Golf Deck, Shane Lowry said that he would love to win the Players Championship on St. Patrick's Day:

"Rory did say to me this morning that the last Paddy's Day we finished The Players on, he won it, so it's hopefully my turn to win it. I was close to being a lot better this week, but another top-five and some well-needed, much-needed FedExCup points, and on to Sawgrass next week."
