Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry came through a play-off to win the Zurich Classic of New Orleans at TPC Louisiana.<\/p>\n
At the end of the fourth round, playing Foursomes, Lowry made the most of a superb chip on to the 18th green by McIlroy by sinking a birdie putt, extending the contest as they joined Martin Trainer and Chad Ramey on 25-under.<\/p>\n
Trainer and Ramey\u00a0 had been among the early starters, powering 26 places up the leaderboard with a round of 63 that included seven birdies on the back nine, but the near three-hour wait to see if their score would hold up saw them come into the play-off looking rusty.<\/p>\n
And after Ramey pulled his second shot left and on to a road, Trainer came up short in his effort to reach the green.<\/p>\n
