Lowry competed in the Games for the second time in his career this week but struggled to get going and could only record a score of 5-under for the tournament which left him in a tie for 26th position.
"I really wish I could have gave it a better run this week but I gave it my best and that’s all I can ask for.""Thanks so much to everyone for their support this week, Without doubt the best support I’ve ever gotten outside of Ireland. "I feel like I've been golf's nearly man for the last three years," sighed McIlroy later. "I obviously want that tide to turn and go from the nearly man to back to winning golf tournaments.
