What time does Shane Lowry tee off?

Lowy will tee off on Thursday at 10.09am at Portrush.

The tee time places Lowry in the heart of the mid-morning wave, ideal for spectators both at Portrush and watching on from home. His return to Royal Portrush carries a deep emotional significance.

It was here in 2019 that Lowry captured his maiden Open title in unforgettable fashion, cruising to a six-shot victory in front of jubilant home crowds.

Opting to skip the Scottish Open last week, the Offaly native has spent recent days preparing quietly on Irish links courses, arriving at Portrush refreshed and ready.

With changeable weather and tricky conditions forecast, his local knowledge could prove a key advantage once again.
