Lowry Keeps Promise to Toy Show Fan at Amgen Irish Open
Golfer Shane Lowry has kept his promise to seven-year-old Declan Ryan, who appeared on last year's Late Late Toy Show. The Offaly golfer surprised Declan at the Amgen Irish Open with a special Pro-Am experience. This comes after Lowry first met Declan on the Toy Show and promised to bring him along to the Irish Open at Doonbeg.
Lowry, the 2009 Irish Open champion, teased Declan about getting a day off school before showing him around the course. Their friendship began when Lowry sent Declan a special video message before surprising him in person on the Toy Show.
Declan was thrilled to be part of the Pro-Am at Trump International Golf Links in Co Clare and watched as Lowry prepared for his 18th Irish Open at the West Clare links course. The 39-year-old golfer is set to tee off with Jon Rahm and Patrick Reed on Thursday afternoon.
