Shane Lowry has dumped Jordan Spieth out of the WGC-Dell Matchplay despite a spirited comeback from the American.
Lowry had already been sent packing from the tournament following defeats by Taylor Montgomery and Mackenzie Hughes. These were his fifth and sixth match play losses of the year after he lost all four of his matches in January at the Hero Cup.
Despite the disappointment Lowry took full advantage off a decidedly erratic performance from the three-time major winner. Lowry raced into a five-hole lead at the turn and held on to complete a 2&1 victory at Austin Country Club.
