Rory McIlroy gets on stage, performs Journey’s ‘Don’t Stop Believin’ after Zurich Classic win
Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry won the Zurich Classic on Sunday, beating Chad Ramey and Martin Trainer with a par on the first hole of a playoff.
How did they celebrate the win at the TPC Louisiana?
The charismatic, 34-year-old McIlroy took the stage for a musical performance.
McIlroy and Lowry went straight for the tournament’s post-round concert “The Molly Ringwalds” was performing.
Videos started making rounds on social media Sunday evening of McIlroy and Lowry getting up on stage the band’s frontman telling the crowd McIlroy would sing the Journey hit “Don’t Stop Believin.’”
McIlroy, of Northern Ireland, won his 25th PGA Tour title and first of the season. Lowry, of Ireland, claimed his third PGA Tour victory. Each walked away with about $1.29 million and 400 FedEx Cup points apiece.
The Irish tandem closed with a 4-under 68 in the alternate-shot final round in windy conditions to match Ramey and Trainer at 25-under 263.
McIlroy and Lowry began the day two shots off the lead. They opened the round with Lowry’s tee shot into the woods on the right side of the hole, and they bogeyed two of their first three holes before beginning their charge on the seventh, where McIlroy made the first of four birdie putts over the next five holes.
McIlroy had two mis-hits down the stretch that could have been costly, leaving an approach shot well short of the green on the par-4 13th and hitting short into a fairway bunker on the short par-4 16th.
