A couple of Irishmen battled to the end of the DP World Tour BMW PGA Championship on Sunday, with Shane Lowry pulling off the victory to beat Rory McIlroy by one stroke at Wentworth in England.
In the DP World Tour marquee event that was shortened to 54 holes because of the death on Thursday of Queen Elizabeth II, Lowry rallied with a seven-under-par 65 on Sunday. His seven birdies, against no bogeys, included a 4 on the closing par-5 hole. McIlroy (67) had a chance to tie on the 18th but his eagle putt came up short.
Lowry finished with a total of 17-under, one shot better than McIlroy and Jon Rahm, who played early and fired a 10-under 62 that included two eagles.
Talor Gooch, an American who has moved to LIV Golf, closed with a 67 and finished solo fourth and pick up another handsome pay cheque.
Here’s the prize money pay out for each golfer who made the cut this week in the $8 million Rolex Series event.
