As Shane Lowry Loses His Cool Rory McIlroy Wins Coveted Green Jacket
He was frustrated after the third round at the Masters and quite sick of hearing about McIlroy. And he had no interest in discussing his competitor immediately after the round. The 13th ranked golfer in the world was having a rough time on the 17th and 18th holes. But still had aspirations of winning the tournament. But as Shane Lowry loses his cool Rory McIlroy wins the coveted Green Jacket. In fact, McIlroy won the 89th Masters while completing a career grand slam. The grand slam means he won all four major championships:
- Masters Tournament
- PGA Championship
- U.S. Open
- Open Championship (British Open)
But before we congratulate McIlroy we have to give some space to Lowry. The standard procedure at the famous Augusta, GA event is for golfers to conduct interviews immediately after completing their rounds. However, when he was asked about McIlroy’s two-shot advantage heading into the final round on Sunday he lost his cool. He snapped at reporters saying,
“No, I’m not going to stand here and talk about Rory for 10 minutes. I’m trying to win the tournament, as well.’
‘I know that’s what y’all want me to talk about, but I’ve just had a s**t finish, I’ve got a chance to win the Masters tomorrow, and I’m going to go hit some balls.’
Lowry obviously felt he was still in contention and had no desire to talk about his fellow competitor. His focus remained on his own chances heading into Sunday’s final round. But he did express his displeasure with having to do immediate interviews. Lowry went on to say:
‘I think we need time. I think I need a half an hour now to sit there and gather my thoughts,’ he said.
‘I can’t be coming to talk to you guys straightaway. It shouldn’t be happening. I don’t agree with it.
‘Tennis players have to talk to the media, but they have a half an hour or hour before they have to do it. I feel like we should have the same thing.’

Despite Lowry’s optimism his dream of winning the Masters was denied by McIlroy. This is the second time in McIlroy’s career that he has won the Players’ Championship. And it’s his 28th PGA Tour victory. He joins Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Scottie Scheffler as the only players with multiple major and players victories.
McIlroy told Sky Sports Golf: “Unbelievably proud to win my second Players Championship. And it’s the third time I’ve won on St Patrick’s Day!” 🍀
He is now part of an elite group of golfers to win every major at least once in their careers, alongside Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Ben Hogan, Gary Player and Gene Sarazen. Congratulations to Rory McIlroy on his 2025 Masters tournament victory today!
