Shane Lowry gave Jason Kelce quite the surprise during the Truist Championship Pro-Am event in Philadelphia this week. Lowry, who is set to compete in the tournament starting Thursday, was paired with the recently retired NFL legend for the pro-am round.
PGA Tour shared a video on their X page on Thursday to reveal Jason's reaction. After the round, a moderator informed Kelce that the Irish golfer had dressed up as his brother, Travis Kelce, for Halloween last year. The elder Kelce brother surprisingly responded:
"I did not know that. Oh my gosh, I got to see that. That's amazing. Dude, that's so good."
Kelce even showed the picture to Shane Lowry, who explained how the costume came together:
"So my daughter was obsessed with [Travis Kelce]. She was dressing up for Halloween. So I was like, ah, so I ordered the shirt online. And then I went down to Dick's Sporting Goods and bought the pads and all that."
He added that he recently trimmed his beard, missing the chance to show off the full Travis look in person. Shane Lowry added,
“I got trimmed last week. It was long last week. I got a lot taken off. I should have left it. If I'd have known, I was going to be playing with you.”
Shane Lowry will tee off at 12:26 p.m. ET on Thursday in what will be his 11th start of the season, following a T12 finish at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
