AKRON, Ohio, Aug 9 (Reuters) - Irishman Shane Lowry was still in disbelief moments after winning the biggest title of his career at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational on Sunday and sewing up his PGA Tour card for the next three years.
The 28-year-old from Clara in County Offaly had overcome the last-day challenge of three major winners in Bubba Watson, Jim Furyk and Justin Rose, firing a flawless four-under 66 to seal victory by two shots on the challenging Firestone layout.
"It doesn't get any better than that, does it?" Lowry, a double winner on the European Tour, grinned as he spoke to reporters after earning a winner's cheque for $1.
