Lowry Preparing To Tee Off At Final Major Of The Season

Thursday, 20 July 2023 08:57

The Clara golfer gets underway after 10am.

Shane Lowry and the world's best golfers are going to have to plot their way around the Hoylake course to have hope of winning this year's Open Championship.

That's Lowry's reading of the Liverpool course ahead of the final major of the season.

The Clara man tees off his challenge for a second Claret Jug in about an hour's time while Padraig Harrington and Seamus Power are playing in the same group just before 9.15.

Rory McIlroy's search for a first major in nearly ten years will resume at 3 this afternoon with the start of his first round.

Alex Maguire was first of the Irish on course and is currently is in a tie for sixth on level-par early on.

Lowry says Hoylake will reward those who land on the fairway this week:
