He faces Brooks Koepka from 4:30pm Irish time.
Shane Lowry takes on Brooks Koepka at the WGC Matchplay in Texas today, needing a win to keep his hopes of progressing to the last 16 alive.
He finished 2-up against Erik van Rooyen last night and will be back on course against Koepka around 4:30pm Irish time today.
Big sigh of relief coming off of 18. Why is that?
I thought it was -- I thought I would be inside already. 4-up with four to play, it's so hard to win a match at this level against world-class golfers.
I bogeyed 15, which was playing tough today and then he went eagle, birdie and to be honest I thought he was going to hole that, so I was kind of gearing up to hole my own putt. But I was happy that I didn't have to.
I've got a big game with Brooks now tomorrow, that's what I wanted. Today I wanted him to beat Harold and now I know that it's in my kind of hand tomorrow. If I beat Brooks and then we go to a playoff and see what happens there.
Q. What will it take to beat Brooks tomorrow?
Some good golf. I've been playing quite well. My scoring over the last two days was really good. Harold played great against me yesterday, I felt like I was pretty solid, only made one bogey out there in those conditions, it's quite tricky.
So just keep doing what I'm doing and, look, if I beat him, I beat him. If I don't, I don't. Just got to keep playing good golf.
Up four with four to play and we end up seeing you on 18. These matches are tough to close out.
Yeah, they are. Obviously Erik did a great job at the end, he kind of did what I did to Harold yesterday and hung in there. I always say, on this course especially I say if you get a match to 16 anything can happen.
Because can you go eagle, birdie, birdie and you can get square in the match and Erik nearly did that. But I'm very relieved and dinner is going to taste nice tonight and I look forward to tomorrow.
