Lowry's Challenge For Players Championship Title Fails To Materialise In Final Round

It leaves him unchanged in the world rankings.

Shane Lowry's challenge for the Players Championship title failed to materialise in last night's final round. 

The Offaly man carded a level-par 72 to finish in a tie for 13th on six-under. 

Australian Cameron Smith took victory on 13-under - one shot clear of Anirban Lahiri in second.

Seamus Power and Rory McIlroy both finished on three-under-par. 

It's bumped Waterford man Power up to 48th in golf's world rankings, following his finish in a tie for 33rd.

He needs to be in the world's top 50 at the end of this month to secure a place at the Masters in April. 

Rory McIlroy is in seventh, with Shane Lowry still at 36.

Winner Cameron Smith has moved up to sixth.
