Shane Lowry In Final Grouping As FedEx Playoffs Begin In USA

Thursday, 20 August 2020 13:26

The Open Champion will tee-off around 6.50 this evening.

Shane Lowry will begin his third tournament in succession on the PGA Tour this evening.

He is part of the final group that will take the course in the Northern Trust event in Boston for the beginning of the FedExCup playoffs.

The Open Champion tees off alongside former English amateur champion Tom Lewis at ten to 7.

Lowry is coming of the back of his best finish since the resumption of golf, tied for 23 in the Wyndham Championship.

Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell are also in the field.

Two players earned enough non-member FedExCup points (as many or more as No. 125 in the FedExCup standings) to become eligible for PGA TOUR membership for the 2020-21 season:

McIlroy has announced he will not play in the Irish Open in County Antrim next month.

The four time major winner will remain in the United States during the pandemic.

He says a lack of fans made his decision easier.
