Top five finish for Shane Lowry at Honda Classic on PGA Tour

Despite playing with a heavy heart following the death of his uncle last week, Shane Lowry finished in tied for fifth at The Honda Classic over the weekend.

The world number 19 carded a level-par final-round 70 on Sunday which was enough to keep him toward the top of the leaderboard on nine-under-par overall.

After his final round, Shane said it was a cold putter that let him down. 

"I have to look at the positives. Obviously, I didn't get the job done today. I just never got it going. I hit the ball well enough to get into contention but just didn't hole the putts."

Lowry wore a green and white ribbon during the tournament, the club colours of Ferbane GAA Club, in memory of his uncle Jimmy who passed away last week. Shane admitted that he came close to going home after he heard the news but stayed to play the tournament in honour of his late uncle.

He also came within a whisker of a hole in one on Thursday.
