"He's unfortunate to miss out" - Shane Lowry on Adrian Meronk missing the 2023 Ryder Cup

As the 2023 European Ryder Cup team was announced, fans criticized Captain Luke Donald for not picking up Adrain Meronk. They believed that Meronk deserved a spot over Shane Lowry.

Recently, Lowry spoke about the European Ryder Cup Team in his interview with the media. He appreciated Adrian Meronk for his great form this year. Lowry said (via the @LowryTracker):

"Well, people have their opinion. Adrian has had a great year, and obviously he's unfortunate to miss out, but somebody has to miss out. I'm not going to sit here and disagree with Luke Donald. It was his decision at the end of the day, if he thinks that somebody else is better for this team than he was.”

He went on to say that the European team has the best 12 players.

"I think if you went down the list, you have the best 12 players, and that's why you have six picks, so you have the chance to pick the 12 best players," Lowry added. "Yeah, I personally think that's the right way to go about it, and like I said, I think we have the best 12 players from Europe coming to play this Ryder Cup, and I think we're in form."

"A lot of players are in very good form, as you've seen over the last few weeks, and I think we're going to give it a great go this year," he added.

The 2023 European Ryder Cup team includes Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, Viktor Hovland, Robert MacIntyre, Matt Fitzpatrick, Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose, Ludvig Aberg, Sepp Straka, Shane Lowry and Nicolai Hojgaard.
