There are lots of reasons to love Shane Lowry – and the big fella from Offaly has given us another one.
On Sunday evening Irish time he was heading out for the most high-profile round of his golfing career – just three shots off the lead in the US Open.
But he didn’t let that stop him spending Sunday in the exact same way as Irish sports fans around the world – on the couch with his family, all glued to the hurling.
Lowry posted this picture on Twitter yesterday – showing him, his brother and their dad watching Limerick take on Tipperary in the Munster SHC.
Love this pic of my dad my bro @AlanLowry59 and I watching Tipp v Limerick on @GAAGO before the final round. pic.twitter.com/TkW5rm9mYy

Great stuff from the Lowry clan, keeping it real.
Lowry, 28, finished in a tie for ninth on level-par alongside Rory McIlroy and Jason Day.
