The DP World Tour recently came to an end, and Shane Lowry reflected on his 2023 season. The DP World Tour Championship saw Lowry finish T18, with an overall score of -11 under par.

Needless to say, it has been quite a season for the golfer. From the Ryder Cup to the Irish Open, it has been an up and down season for him.

Shane Lowry played for the European team at the 2023 Ryder Cup at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club. The European team won the biennial tournament, and Lowry went 1-1-1 through his run.

Reminiscing about his memorable year, Lowry posted on X (formerly Twitter):

"Another year in the books. The end of my 15th season on Tour. Full of ups and downs but without doubt a bucket list year for me. Winning the Ryder cup the way we did in Rome was a dream come true."

His top finish this year came at the Irish Open, where he came solo third. He also had a T12 finish at the PGA Championship. Lowry ended this year ranked 35th in the world.

"I know my results individually could be better and I will work hard over the winter to improve and come out firing in 2024. Thanks to all my family, my team and people who have supported me this year and see you all in the new year," he added.
