Shane Lowry rues 'horrendous shot' but says its 'onwards and upwards'

Shane Lowry produced his best major performance since winning the 2019 Open but the Irisman was left to rue a “horrendous” shot in the final round of the 86th Masters.

Lowry finished joint-fourth behind Scottie Scheffler after a roller-coaster ride on the final day at Augusta National.

He was one-under through the first three holes before running up a triple-bogey 6 at the fourth after sending his tee shot into bushes on the right of the green.

But, on his seventh appearance in the event, Lowry then covered the remaining 13 holes in five-under as he signed off with a gutsy 69.

“It is quite pleasing to do what I did and finish the way I did is very pleasing,” he said after rolling in a putt across the 18th green for a closing birdie. “But it's going to be one of those where it's like so near and so far type thing.

“I don't know how many chances you're going to get to win the Green Jacket. But I played some great golf all week.
