« I would prefer not to be under pressure, » said Lowry. “I would prefer if I were fully cemented in the team. … But yes, it is what it is. It’s a great position. Three years ago when it was the France Ryder Cup and I wasn’t close to the team I would have given a lot to be in the position I am now. So now I’m in the position where I kind of have to grab it by the neck and move on to form the team. ”

« I’m pretty happy with how I’ve played lately and I think I’ve raised my hand », said Lowry. “Like I said, I’m on the team now, but Wentworth is going to be a great week and I’m looking forward to going there and competing. It’s a place I like to go and I hope I have a good week and can somehow consolidate my place on the team. «
