Shane Lowry birdied his final hole to sign for a flawless 65 and reach 17-under in the BMW PGA Championship, moving ahead of clubhouse leader Jon Rahm. He then had to wait for Rory McIlroy to finish and won when McIlroy’s eagle putt failed to drop.

Lowry remained bogey-free all week to win his second Rolex Series title.
“I’m just so happy that I can win this tournament. I love this tournament and I love this course. I love coming here, the area, I just love everything about it. I’m so happy that I can come here and win the tournament this year.
“I feel like I’ve had a great year but it’s not a great year unless you win. And I feel like this is just the glaze on the cake for me.

“I’m so happy. Honestly words can’t (describe) how happy I am, how much this means to me and how much I love this Tour and how much I love this tournament. I’m the happiest man in the world right now.
“I said to my coach this morning, ‘I need to just allow myself to play golf’. I’m playing the best golf of my life. I need to allow myself to do that and I did that.”
