Shane Lowry is heading into this week’s Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Connecticut, with a caddie he knows well — one who was by his side for the first ten years of his professional career.
Lowry reached out to Dermot Byrne to take on the caddie role on short notice, reuniting the two after a period apart. When asked about what comes next for the partnership, Lowry kept his answer open-ended.
“We’ll see what the plan is going forward. No idea really,” Lowry said, according to Golfweek.
The move comes after the 39-year-old golfer split with caddie Darren Reynolds following a missed cut at last week’s U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club.
Lowry, who claimed the 2019 Open Championship title, has three victories on the PGA Tour to his name. His major championship near-misses include a runner-up finish at the 2016 U.S. Open, a third-place result at the 2022 Masters, and a fourth-place showing at the 2021 PGA Championship.
