Irish eyes smiled upon TPC Louisiana on Sunday, as Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry prevailed in a playoff to win the Zurich Classic of New Orleans in McIlroy’s debut at the team tournament in Avondale, La.

McIlroy, the four-time major champ from Northern Ireland, and Lowry, his friend, fellow major winner, and former Ryder Cup teammate from Ireland, put the Zurich on their schedule hoping to use it to jump up the FedEx Cup standings. They'll each receive 400 FedEx Cup points after defeating Chad Ramey and France’s Martin Trainer on the first playoff hole.
