Creole french quarter

Creole French Quarter: Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy took his 25th PGA Tour title and Shane Lowry his third, as the duo won the Zurich Classic of New Orleans team event, overcoming Chad Ramey and Martin Trainer on the first playoff hole. The two teams had tied at 25-under and then the Irish duo won the first play-off hole.

All week they had been popular and given a standing ovation including on their visit to the historic, Creole French Quarter restaurant Arnaud’s on the eve of their final round at TPC Louisiana. The 34-year-old McIlroy was making his debut and won his 25th PGA Tour title, while Lowry, 36, won his third PGA TOUR title, and the first since the Open.

In the first hole of a playoff, Trainer pushed a 6-foot par putt to the right of the cup to end it, with Lowry lifting a laughing McIlroy off the ground with a bear hug on the green.
