**Newcastle, Northern Ireland** – Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry are both looking for redemption at this week’s Amgen Irish Open, hoping to capture their second titles at the world-class Royal County Down.
McIlroy, who narrowly missed out on the US Open title after a disappointing finish, and Lowry, who lost his chance at an Olympic medal in Paris, are hoping a victory at home would help them overcome recent setbacks.
McIlroy, in particular, admitted that a win this week would be a perfect way to “forget” the opportunities he’s missed, despite reminding himself of his three previous victories.
Both players will need to display immense patience and focus to claim the coveted trophy at Royal County Down, a course known for its challenging conditions.
