Shane Lowry set to go toe-to-toe with golfer that ''p*ssed me off"
Shane Lowry will go toe-to-toe with old rival Patrick Cantlay in the third round of the BMW Championship, having previously said how the American 'p*ssed me off' during their Ryder Cup singles match. The pair met in the Covid-disrupted 2021 Ryder Cup, where Cantlay beat Lowry 4&2 en route to a record Team USA win. Shortly after the tournament, Lowry voiced his frustration with Cantlay, saying, 'Patrick Cantlay p*ssed me off on the 8th hole if I'm honest. He was riling up the crowd whilst I was lining up my putt annoyed me quite a lot, and I didn't feel that it was good from him, but it is what it is." Fast forward to 2023, and Lowry clashed with Cantlay's caddie Joe LaCava after he continued to wave his hat near Rory McIlroy as the Northern Irish golfer lined up a putt on the 18th hole of his fourball match with the putt for a half of the match. "Hey Joe, get out of the way, you p****," Lowry told La Cava at the time while also telling him to 'f*** off'. La Cava turned to Lowry and told him to "Shut the f*** up." The tense encounter led to wild scenes as an irate Rory McIlroy lost his cool in the car park afterwards. Shane Lowry and Joe LaCava in 2023 Lowry and Cantlay will tee it up at 5:01 p.m. as they look to make a surge on moving day. It is unlikely there will be any great drama between the pair today. Even though the race to the FedEx Cup is among the most lucrative few paydays in golf, all attention turns to the Ryder Cup. Scotland's Bob MacIntyre sits top at 14-under-par while world number one Scottie Scheffler is nine-under-par. Team Europe's Ludvig Aberg and Tommy Fleetwood are hitting good form at the right time, with both players in the top five. After taking last week off, Rory McIlroy sits in the middle of the pack in 11th place with a late eagle boosting him up the leaderboard to sit at four-under-par, some 10 shots off the lead and five shots behind Scheffler. Shane Lowry is on one under par and will likely feature in next week's Tour Championship, while a strong finish could earn him automatic qualification to Team Europe.

United were favourites to see off the non-league side at Eamonn Deacy Park and reach the last eight of the FAI Cup. And it did not take them long to get going with Buckley breaking the deadlock after 11 minutes. Stephen Walsh, Patrick Hickey and Dara McGuinness also netted to put the gloss on the victory. Advertisement United dominated from the off with duo David Hurley and Jimmy Keohane controlling midfield. And the Tribes got the early goal they would have wanted. Hurley took charge of a short corner and worked it to Buckley, who flicked the ball home. But United could have had a couple before that. Advertisement Keohane crashed one off the bar, while Arek Mamala also saved well from Hickey. Devon — who started with five former United players in their ranks — dropped deeper as the first half went on. Marc Ludden also came in to shore up the defence. Mamala made a few saves but could not keep out Walsh's header after a long-looping cross from Jeannot Esua. Advertisement League of Ireland mascots compete in charity race in Naas Axel Piesold came into the game in midfield and brought a great save from Mamala after the break. Salthill improved during the second half. They managed to keep the ball well and forced a few corners that could have made things interesting. But United made sure of their place in the quarter-finals when Hickey netted in the 66th minute. And it was all about the play of interval sub McGuinness, who was quick and skilful on the right and teed up the big American to score. Advertisement New United signing Jeremy Sivi also made his debut on the left and provided a threat. But in injury time, McGuinness poked home after good work from Aaron Bolger to put a shine on the final score.
