An experienced caddie, Byrne recently had Leona Maguire\u2019s bag until 2024.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">Lowry told Golfweek that the arrangement was for the Travelers Championship and he was still figuring out who to hire as a full-time caddie. With Byrne on the bag, Lowry\u2019s notable achievements included winning the WGC Invitational at Firestone in 2015.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">The Offalyman split from Byrne in 2018 to hire Brian \u2018Bo\u2019 Martin, with whom he famously won the 2019 Open Championship at Royal Portrush.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">However, the two split in 2023 with Lowry admitting last year when reminiscing about the Open win: \u201cI definitely told him I loved him \u2013 not so sure that\u2019s the case anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shane Lowry has parted ways with Darren Reynolds following a missed cut at the US Open at Shinnecock&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":723823,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[427,3332,11384,99],"class_list":["post-723822","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-pga-tour","tag-shane-lowry","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/723822","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=723822"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/723822\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/723823"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=723822"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=723822"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=723822"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
