The final day of the 2015 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational came to a close on Sunday, with Shane Lowry capturing his first professional win since the 2012 Portugal Masters.
WGC-Bridgestone Invitational Round 2 Highlights
The Irishman produced a flawless card on Sunday, finishing his round with zero bogeys. He is the first non-PGA Tour member to win a World Golf Championship since Martin Kaymer in 2011, per WGC.
Bubba Watson finished two strokes off the pace and alone in second. Despite entering Sunday tied for the lead, Justin Rose and Jim Furyk finished tied for third.
What They're Saying
Shane Lowry: "I can't believe it. I've played well most of the year, but these last four days are very special."
WGC-Bridgestone Invitational Round 3 Recap
Jim Furyk on his assessment of Lowry: "What I had been told a couple years ago was that he had a beautiful short game, kind of a scrappy player. I don't think that did it justice. I thought he hit the ball pretty well. I liked his game."
Bubba Watson
Watson's second-place finish boiled down to two wedges -- particularly on the par-5 16th -- that bounced on the greens and took away reasonable birdie chances.
He reflected on his poor decisions after his round.
"I nipped it, took paint off the ball and cut it with a 63-degree lob wedge and it just bounced. Now knowing that if I had hit the tree, it spins more on 18. That's what I should have done. Tell Lowry that was unbelievable."
