Rory McIlroy “carries” Shane Lowry to 25th PGA Tour win at Zurich Classic

The all-Irish duo of McIlroy and Lowry came from behind Sunday to capture the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

Share All sharing options for: Rory McIlroy “carries” Shane Lowry to 25th PGA Tour win at Zurich Classic

The PGA Tour is in New Orleans this week for the only team event on tour, the Zurich Classic.

Despite a tumultuous round by Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry , the Irish duo came out on top in a playoff over Martin Trainer and Chad Ramey.

It is McIlroy’s 25th career victory on the PGA Tour . Lowry notched his third and his first since winning The Open in 2019. But it was the former that did most of the heavy lifting.

“Let’s go and get 400 [FedEx Cup] points each. That’s what we’ve done, and I nearly feel a little bit bad taking them because Rory carried me a lot of the way,” Lowry said with a smile after the win.

Nearly three hours before the 72nd hole had been played by all teams, Trainer and Ramey entered the clubhouse at 25-under par. A number of pairs were already at or just below that number with practically an entire round to play.

Yet, windy conditions made scoring very difficult as no one would finish any lower.

A bogey on 17 for McIlroy and Lowry dropped them one shot off the pace. But the Northern Irishman made up for it on 18 with a fantastic chip . That set up a short birdie putt, which Lowry drained to get into the playoff.

In the playoff, Ramey and Trainer’s rust showed. Two hours and 54 minutes after they finished their round, Trainer’s tee shot missed the fairway left. Despite getting a clean lie just short of the fairway bunker, Ramey yanked his 3-wood well left of the green.

Meanwhile, McIlroy’s tee shot found the fairway. Lowry’s approach came up just short, nestling into the greenside bunker. But they were still in decent shape.

Trainer chunked his third and Ramey chipped up near the hole, leaving a makable 5-footer for par.

McIlroy hit a decent bunker shot, which left his fellow Irishman with 10 feet for the win. But just like much of the week, Lowry’s putter failed him. He missed the putt just above the hole and it appeared as though a massive opportunity slipped away.

Moments later though, Trainer inexplicably missed his short par putt, sealing the victory for McIlroy and Lowry.

“Absolutely amazing. We’ve had an awesome week here in New Orleans. The crowds all week have been absolutely amazing. To get the support that we’ve had out there and to have so much fun while doing it, it’s been an awesome week, and obviously I feel like it’s just a bonus to win at the end,” McIlroy said.

“But couldn’t be better to have this man alongside me to get a PGA Tour win together.”

It likely was not the way they envisioned winning, but a victory is a victory, however it comes.

This was McIlroy’s first time playing in this event. He had such a great time and received such a warm welcome, that he already let everyone know his future plans.

“I’d say we’re going to come back and defend next year.”

In a much-needed boost, Lowry and McIlroy jumped to 12th and 15th respectively on the FedEx Cup points list with the win.

2024 Zurich Classic live stream, TV schedule, where to watch online, channel, tee times, radio, golf coverage

Grab a partner as this team-style event on the pga tour wraps up sunday.

For the seventh straight year, golfers are in the Bayou taking part in the PGA Tour's annual team-style event. The 2024 Zurich Classic welcomed 80 teams of two as partners hoping to grab a trophy by week's end at TPC Louisiana.

Headlining the action are the two players who seemingly do everything together: Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay. The good friends were victorious in their first go around in 2022 but failed to defend their title a season ago. They started well this go-around but will need to make some major gains on Sunday if they hope to win two of three titles in New Orleans.

A new pairing making its debut features world No. 2 Rory McIlroy -- in his first tournament appearance -- playing alongside Shane Lowry. The duo, which has shared Ryder Cup success, is together near the top of the Zurich Classic leaderboard sitting just two strokes back entering the final 18 holes Sunday.

Follow Zurich Classic playoff coverage now that Round 4 has concluded.

Will Zalatoris and Sahith Theegala also entered as a strong duo on paper, as was the case with Collin Morikawa and Kurt Kitayama. Adam Hadwin and Nick Taylor hoped to do one better than their runner-up performance in 2023 with Corey Conners and Taylor Pendrith also starring as an all-Canadian team. Brothers Alex and Matt Fitzpatrick team up for the second straight year with Rasmus and Nicolai Hojgaard, plus Parker and Pierceson Coody, also making this week a family affair.

Sum 41 goes out on top at sold-out Milwaukee stop of farewell tour at the Rave

Is anyone actually buying the “farewell” that Sum 41 is selling?

OK, sure, a lot of people are literally buying it. The Canadian pop-punk veterans’ “Tour of the Setting Sum” farewell run came to the Rave’s Eagles Ballroom Saturday for one of the first stops, and the 3,500-person capacity venue was a sellout.

But let’s do the math. No one in Sum 41 is over 50. The Mötley Crüe guys are headlining Summerfest this June after bringing a “farewell tour” to the Big Gig a decade ago, and an 81-year-old Barry Manilow will play a final Milwaukee show at Fiserv Forum in August nine years after he seemingly played a final Milwaukee show.

It's hard to accept that Sum 41 is really leaving all of this behind, especially right now. Pop-punk is fueling a new generation of rising stars. Blink-182's classic lineup is back (and playing Fiserv Forum August 7), Green Day is headlining stadiums (including American Family Field Aug. 24), and Milwaukee will host not one but two Warped Tour-style festivals this summer: Sad Summer Festival at the Rave, and the Not Just a Phase Fest at Franklin Field.

But if the Eagles Ballroom show was really Milwaukee's last chance to see Sum 41, they showed they're going out at the top of their game.

This amped-up capacity crowd hardly needed any motivation, but Sum 41 kicked off their hour-and-45-minute set with "Motivation" anyway, the first song off first album "All Killer No Filler" from 2001, with wired frontman Deryck Whibley cruising the stage while lasers and lighting worked overtime. In a delightful detour from the recording, guitarists Dave Baksh and Tom Thacker, drummer Frank Zummo and bassist Jason McCaslin offered a dense and tense instrumental thrash break, the band's distinctive, metal-flexing tendencies later getting a full workout for 2004's "We're All To Blame."

From "Motivation" Sum 41 segued into "The Hell Song" from 2002 sophomore album "Does This Look Infected?," with Whibley heating up the crowd with a breathless, 15-second vocal note, followed by Baksh's gnarly guitar solo, adding gas to the flames. The momentum continued with another "Infected" track, "Over My Head (Better Off Dead)" — the crowdsurfing and circle pits intensifying as smoke and confetti were added to the effects arsenal — followed by 2004's "No Reason," where Zummo really let his drum assaults rip.

The 2007 anthem "Underclass Hero" came right after, with oversized balloons bouncing atop jumping bodies in the pit — and Whibley popping a few with the tail end of his handheld mic. The band's cacophonous sound silenced so the fans could triumphantly belt out the final chorus alone: "'Cause we won't give you control/And we don't need anything from you."

During "Hero" Whibley rightly suggested this night wasn't just a celebration of Sum 41's nearly 30-year run but also "a celebration of yourselves." The crowd's passion matched the band's Saturday and was more powerful than all of the production's bells and whistles.

When the band started 2007's "Walking Disaster," the lights on the phones were so bright, the stage lights stayed off and the band was still fully illuminated. Even after Whibley suggested everyone needed to take a breather after an intense first 23 minutes, followed by the comparatively slower 2004 song "Some Say," some fans still couldn't resist moshing before the end. And "Dopamine," "Landmines" and "Rise Up" from the four-week-old "Heaven :x: Hell" album received boisterous singalongs typically reserved for longtime setlist standards. (It helps that those tracks are as invigorating as anything from across Sum 41's catalogue.)

When the most prized setlist standards did actually come near the end — "Fat Lip" accompanied by a storm of confetti, an equally electric "Still Waiting" initially sans any fancy stage enhancements — the crowd really went wild. Their biggest hit "In Too Deep" was a deeply satisfying finale — except it turned out it really wasn't the end.

Two minutes after the house lights came on, the outro music played on the speakers and about half of the crowd had left, Whibley and Thacker came back on stage — prompting fans at the staircases to sprint back to the ballroom floor. And as Thacker gently played keys, Whibley offered a sweet and calm farewell in the form of 2007's "So Long Goodbye" — with Baksh, McCaslin and Zummo coming out after a few minutes to give the song an adrenaline-pumping speed punk finish.

It was probably the best moment from a night full of memorable ones. But there was one moment fans definitely didn’t like: when Whibley referred to “Heaven :x: Hell” as the band’s final album, prompting a roar of booing.

“Ladies and gentlemen," Whibley replied cooly, "I can’t get enough of your boos."

Call it denial if you want, but a comment like that, combined with a show like this one, makes me firmly believe that Sum 41's "farewell" isn't going to stick. And the fans, clearly, would be just fine with that.

5 takeaways from Sum 41's Milwaukee concert, including openers the Interrupters and Joey Valence & Brae

• As people walked into the show they were given yellow pieces of paper that read “No Moshing.” Naturally this crowd didn’t comply, especially with Whibley demanding a mosh circle open up just two songs into the set. But shortly after that he also told people to be safe and look after each other, and by the look of things from the balcony, the crowd complied in that regard.
• At one point Whibley said he was bringing out a special guest, which turned out to be a guitar he's named "White Gold." It's a guitar that recently joined his collection, but it was actually used in the recording of one of his favorite albums by one of his favorite bands, 1996's "White Light, White Heat, White Trash" by Social Distortion. In their honor, Whibley played White Gold for a cover of "Ring of Fire" in the mode of Social Distortion's signature cover. (Social Distortion, by the way, is heading to the Rave's Eagles Ballroom with Bad Religion on May 14.)
• Sum 41 offered one other cover Saturday, of Queen's "We Will Rock You," initially distinguished by Thacker's speedy showboating on guitar — until Whibley guided the crowd to get quiet and crouch down before the climax, with the band's sound and fans (literally) rising up together for a mosh-friendly finale.
• Primary opener the Interrupters were essentially motivational speakers set to ska music, with the always-moving Aimee Allen, with a Joan Jett-style snarl, singing about not being pushed aside for “Take Back The Power,” living “like a warrior” on “Title Holder,” and being “easy on yourself” for “Easy on You.” She even offered gratitude for her heartbreak on “Afterthought.” The energy and uplift easily won over the Sum 41 fans, but just to make sure they had their full support, the Interrupters also offered a trombone-blaring cover of Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy” and a bit of “Blister in the Sun” in honor of Milwaukee rock heroes the Violent Femmes.
• Joey Valence & Brae kicked off the night with a blast from the past, with originals like “Crank It Up,” “Drop!!” and “Punk Tactics” that are blatant rip-offs of Beastie Boys, but still pretty fun live. And the duo’s more hyperpop-leaning “Gumdrop” illustrated where they could take their act next.

Sum 41's Eagles Ballroom setlist

• "Motivation"
• "The Hell Song"
• "Over My Head (Better Off Dead)"
• "No Reason"
• "Underclass Hero"
• "Landmines"

DETROIT (AP) — The NFL draft has taken the show on the road for a decade, giving cities around the country a chance to be in the spotlight.

Detroit is on the clock.

The Motor City, which was once one of the nation’s largest and most powerful cities, has bounced back from filing for bankruptcy in 2013.

Fans driving and flying into town from the league’s other 31 teams will see signs of progress from the symbolic to the significant.

AP AUDIO: NFL draft has been on tour for a decade and the next stop is Detroit, giving it a shot in spotlight.

AP correspondent Mike Hempen reports.

DETROIT is spelled out, each letter standing 10 feet off an embankment alongside a freeway between the airport and downtown, in an art installation that made its debut earlier this month.

A few miles away, the long-abandoned Michigan Central Station has undergone a renovation funded by Ford Motor Co. to transform the 18-story, 113-year-old train depot from an eyesore into a gem.

In the heart of downtown, where the NFL draft will begin Thursday night, a 685-foot-high tower represents the largest construction project in the city in more than a half-century as it rises from the site of the former Hudson’s department store.

With more than 50 million viewers and an expected 400,000 visitors over the three-day event, there will be a chance to change the conversation about the city.

Lions President Rod Wood pitched the city as a draft destination in 2016 and teamed up with the Detroit Sports Commission a year later to submit the formal bid to land the NFL’s annual event that gives fans from each team a jolt of hope.

The Lions and the local sports commission also partnered with Visit Detroit, Dan Gilbert’s real-estate company, Bedrock, and the Detroit Police Department to make the most of the opportunity.

“The draft here in Detroit is going to make a big step for us in making that old image go away and people having the new image of the city,” Gilbert told The Associated Press. “We’re going to be able to showcase Detroit like never before.”

That’s part of the NFL’s plan, and it has led to 20-plus cities vying for a future draft. Green Bay will host next year’s draft.

After the league had its last draft in New York a decade ago, it envisioned giving cities — particularly those in colder climates that may not host a future Super Bowl — a chance to have a signature event that would have a lot of benefits, including an economic impact.

Chicago was the first tour stop in 2015 and it generated $81 million for the community. Kansas City had it last year, sparking $164 million in economic impact.

“Another opportunity for our franchise and our city and just for the world to kind of migrate to downtown Detroit,” said Lions general manager Brad Holmes, who has turned around a franchise that is coming off its best season since winning the 1957 NFL title. “I expect it to be pretty packed. I’m excited for all the businesses.”

Detroit’s draft is expected to bring in at least $160 million, giving small businesses a boost from fans flocking in and around Campus Martius Park.

One longtime business is looking forward to more than just an increase in foot traffic.

Lauren Stovall, the business lead at Hot Sam’s, and two others representing the 103-year-old men’s clothing store and tailor shop will be onstage during the draft’s final day Saturday.

“There’s a perception of Detroit that comes from people who actually have not been here,” Stovall said. “What’s so great is when people actually come to Detroit, they are blown away, because Detroit is not what they might have thought.”

There are new hotels, high-end and trendy restaurants and bars along with a skyscraper nearing completion. Challenges continue to exist in some neighborhoods as the city continues to demolish abandoned houses, including more than 25,000 over the past 10 years. Crime has been trending down and homicides are the lowest since 1966.

“We’re not going to lose our balance patting ourselves on the back,” Detroit Police Chief James White said.

Hundreds of uniformed and plainclothes officers from Detroit, county, state and federal agencies will patrol the greater downtown area. White said all the city’s police officers will work shifts during the draft, some downtown, others in neighborhoods.

Bomb-sniffing dogs and other K-9 teams will be flown into Detroit by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, which also has pledged to have its tactical team on standby. Intelligence agents are monitoring social media for any threats.

Mayor Mike Duggan devoted some time during his annual State of the City address Wednesday to talk about the importance of the draft turning a lot of eyes on Detroit. Visitors for the draft are “going to see a very different city,” the mayor promised.

“We have a chance to reintroduce Detroit to America,” Duggan said.

1. A World-Class Education With an Unbeatable Reputation

Founded in 1818, SLU is one of the nation’s oldest and most respected universities. The School for Professional Studies has been offering dynamic, non-traditional programs designed for adult students for more than 60 years.

3. A Mission That Matters

SPS was founded in 1963 to address the burgeoning need for comprehensive college education for adult learners. Since then, we have evolved into one of the most innovative, adult-focused programs in the country. Our mission is service-focused and we challenge students to not only train for a career, but to find your higher purpose through your professional calling.

SLU’s Catholic identity and Jesuit tradition of educating “the whole person” — mind, body and spirit — prepares ethical leaders ready to take on the world on and make it better. In true Jesuit fashion, at SLU ideas become action and serving others is a way of life. More than 80 of our classes integrate service learning into the curriculum. And, outside of the classroom, students, faculty and staff devote more than 1.6 million hours to community service each year.

4. A Seamless Online Experience at an Accelerated Pace

Our 100% online programs have multiple start dates, meaning you can begin when the time is right for you. We offer eight-week terms instead of a traditional 16-week semester so you can meet your educational goals faster. Study on your own time and earn up to 30 credit hours per year with the full support of our faculty and staff in a virtual learning environment.

And if you think you’ll be missing out on interacting with your professors, think again. “It was just as beneficial as going in person, the instructors were present and there,” says SLU online graduate Sharie McTyler. She explains that the materials were clearly laid out and every professor gave examples of how to apply what was learned in real life.

“It wasn't easy, by any means, but the professors made it accessible, understandable, and pretty much fail-proof,” McTyler adds.

5. Accredited Online Training for In-Demand Careers

SLU constantly assesses industry needs to determine what kind of job training employers are seeking most in their staff. This has helped us shape our curriculum, from nursing and leadership programs to IT certifications and more.
