Hero Dubai Desert Classic: Shane Lowry looks to bounce back from Dubai Invitational 'hurt' and challenge for Rolex Series win

Shane Lowry believes he can take plenty of learnings into the Hero Dubai Desert Classic after being left 'hurt' by his final-hole disappointment at the Dubai Invitational on Sunday.

Lowry came agonisingly close to claiming a first DP World Tour title since the 2022 BMW PGA Championship and first worldwide success since April 2024 at the season opener, where he moved top of the leaderboard during an eventful final round.

The Irishman charged into contention after three birdies in his first four holes and held a one-shot lead heading into the 72nd hole, where he found the greenside bunker with his second shot into the closing par-four before finding water with his third.
