OFFALY star Shane Lowry came flying out of the traps on Sunday and briefly looked like he might run away with the RBC Canadian Open.
BUT it didn’t last long as the Clara ace faded away at TPC Toronto.
The 2019 Open champion slammed through his opening four holes in five-under-par.
The overnight four-shot overnight gap evaporated as the Irishman grabbed the outright lead at Osprey Valley.
But he couldn’t keep the pedal down as he flatlined after the turn in Canada.
Lowry played his final 14 holes in two-over-par, eventually to sign for a three-under 67 on his final round.
That meant the Irishman finished on -13 for the week, which will likely be enough for a top-15 finish.
American Sam Burns set the clubhouse target with a stunning 62 to post -18 after finishing a couple of hours before the final groups signed off.
At time of publish, New Zealand’s Ryan Fox slammed in a 17-foot birdie putt on the final hole to force a playoff with Burns.
The winner of the PGA Tour’s RBC Canadian Open will receive $1,764,000 from the $9.8 million purse.
