Shane Lowry turns to familiar face in caddie switch

Shane Lowry returns to a familiar face on the bag ahead ​of this week’s Travelers ‌Championship in Cromwell, Conn.

Lowry summoned caddie Dermot Byrne, who held that role for the ‌first ​10 years of ⁠the Irishman’s career. ⁠Lowry said he reached out to Byrne because he needed a caddie on ​short notice.

“We’ll see what the plan is ⁠going forward. No ⁠idea really,” Lowry ​said, per Golfweek.

Lowry, 39, parted ​ways with Darren Reynolds after ‌he missed the cut at the U.S. Open last week at Shinnecock ⁠Hills Golf Club.

The winner of the 2019 Open Championship, Lowry has ⁠three ‌wins on the ⁠PGA Tour. He has ​recorded ‌a T2 finish ​at the ⁠2016 U.S. Open, a T3 at the 2022 Masters, and a T4 at the 2021 PGA Championship.
