Lowry hopes to keep good feeling going

SHANE Lowry hopes to emulate Ryder Cup-winning team-mate Robert MacIn- tyre and win on his first start since victory at Bethpage.

Unlike the United States-based Irishman, MacIntyre flew home to his native Scotland immediately after Europe's success in New York to claim the Dunhill Links Championship in gale-force winds.

Lowry, who holed the putt that ensured Europe would retain the trophy, has opted for the more temperate climates of Madrid for the Open de Espana to make his comeback after a week off and is trying to forget Bethpage and focus on his individual game again.
