Shane Lowry all prepared to make Ryder Cup appearance after Irish Open
Shane Lowry was picked by captain Luke Donald to be a part of the 2023 European Ryder Cup team. While Lowry does bring a wealth of experience to the table, there are some who feel that he is not in the best form that he can be.
However, Lowry is prepared to bring everything he has to the table and is ready to fiercely defend the captain's pick.
In an interview ahead of the Irish Open, he said via Sky Sports:
"I'm very confident in my own ability, and I know what I can bring. My form probably has not been the greatest, but in some of the bigger events I've played some of my best golf and there's nothing bigger than the Ryder Cup."
For Lowry, this is the best set of 12 players that could be picked for the Ryder Cup team.
He added:
"Well, people have their opinion. If you look at the way the team was picked, there's not many players playing that weren't in the top 12, myself included. And that's why you have six picks, so you have the chance to pick the 12 best players."
The Ryder Cup is all set to be held between September 30 and October 2 at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club near Rome.
