Shane Lowry is happy with his game as he aims to become the first Irish player to win the Masters.

The 2019 Open champion has notched up top 25 finishes in his past four outings at Augusta.

“I feel my game is in decent shape and I certainly feel I can go out there and play well,” he said.

“I know what it takes to do it and be up there but it’s just hard to do it sometimes – hopefully, this will be my week.”

He added: “I certainly feel if it comes my way on Saturday afternoon or Sunday I could be up for the challenge but we’ll see what happens.

“I certainly love coming here, I love competing here – it’s probably my favourite tournament of the year, it’s the one I’d most like to win.”
