Lowry triumphs
Print Edition
Ireland’s Shane Lowry shot a bogey-free 4-under-par 66 on Sunday to come from behind and beat American Bubba Watson by two strokes to claim the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in Akron, Ohio, on Sunday.
It marked the first victory for Lowry since winning the European Tour’s Portugal Masters in 2012 and his maiden win on US soil. The 28-year-old sank four birdies, including a 10-foot putt on the 72nd hole, to finish with an 11-under 269 total in the final tune-up before the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits.
Two-time major winner Watson matched Lowry’s 66 but finished two strokes back with a 9-under 271. It was another disappointing finish for American Jim Furyk who finished in the top 10 for the 10th time but is still seeking his first WGC-Bridgestone victory. Furyk fired a 2-over 72 and tied England’s Justin Rose (72) for third place, four strokes behind Lowry.
