Ireland’s Shane Lowry was asked in holing a birdie putt at the 15th, and the first hole of the ‘Bear Trap’ who he was waving to moments after sinking the four-footer.

It turns out that as the reigning WGC – Bridgestone Invitational champion made his way onto the green after playing such a superb 6-iron tee shot, a punter mentioned to him:  “I have a buck on you holing that putt, okay?”

Lowry then takes up the story.

“It was one of the best tee shots I’ve hit in a while,” he said.

“But then there was these guys walking up the side of the hole and one of them said they had a dollar on me to hold the putt.  He said he would give he 50 cents and half of the bet if I made it so I may go back out and find him (smiling).

Shane Lowry has played the treacherous 15th in 2 under this week.
