Shane Lowry has said his victory in the BMW PGA Championship was “one for the good guys” as the rift between LIV Golf and the established tours continues to grow.

Lowry was outspoken in his views about LIV Golf players teeing it up in the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.

Although Patrick Reed and Talor Gooch mounted tough challenges from LIV, the fight for the title boiled down to a three-way battle between Lowry, Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm — two other players who have been critical of LIV.

Lowry birdied the 18th hole to secure a one-shot victory over Rahm and McIlroy, and took a swipe at the LIV players who were at Wentworth.
