Shane Lowry srixon irons

At the halfway mark of the 2024 Open Championship at Royal Troon, Shane Lowry is the leader and these are the golf clubs in his bag.

Ryan Barath

As a previous winner of the Open Championship — when it was held at Royal Portrush in 2019 — Shane Lowry understands how to navigate the variables of links golf. Now, at the halfway point of the 2024 Open at Royal Troon, he once again finds himself in a familiar position atop the leaderboard with 36 holes to go.

Here is a closer look at the clubs in his bag, along with the limited-edition Srixon staff bag holding them.

Driver: Srixon ZX5 Mk II (Mitsubishi Diamana D+ White 70 TX), 8.5 degrees

Srixon ZX5 MK II Custom Driver

$499.99
Featuring a larger footprint, flattened shape, and higher skirt—along with a single, adjustable, 8g rear weight placed low and deep—ZX5 Mk II combines heightened forgiveness, sharp looks, and exceptional swing feel ideal for gorgeous drives that launch straight, high, and go the distance. REBOUND FRAME Rebound Frame’s Dual Flex Zones focus more energy into the golf ball at impact, creating a purer energy transfer that instantaneously increases ball speed and distance on every strike. ADJUSTABILITY The ZX5 Mk II comes equipped with one 8g sole weight placed low and deep in the head. An adjustable hosel also provides the opportunity to vary loft, lie, and face angle STAR FRAME CROWN A complex series of ridges and latticework provides the structural integrity necessary to feature a remarkably thin titanium crown and to place discretionary mass where it best suits each ZX Mk II Driver’s ideal launch and spin characteristics. VARIABLE THICKNESS FACE An intricate variable thickness pattern expands the high COR area across the entire clubface. These unique ridges enhance high COR from heel to toe by improving how energy reflects into the ball on off-center shots.

Wedges: Cleveland RTX 6 ZipCore Tour Rack (50-10 Mid bounce, 54-10 Mid bounce), RTX Full Face (58-8), (KBS Tour wedge shafts)

Cleveland Golf RTX 6 Zipcore Custom Wedge

$169.99
New RTX 6 ZipCore Wedges are designed to unlock maximum spin performance across the golf course, regardless of lie. Yep, that includes the fairway, rough, sand, and even in wet conditions. You might think Wedge shots spin far less in rough or wet conditions. But with the all-new RTX 6 ZipCore, when it comes to spin, it’s all lies. By combining our new HydraZip face, UltiZip grooves, and upgraded ZipCore tech, these Wedges are designed to improve spin, conditions be darned. HYDRAZIP How’d we pack so much spin into RTX 6 ZipCore Wedges? HydraZip. That’s how. HydraZip technology features a dynamic blast and laser-milled line system designed to maximize spin in wet or dry conditions, and from anywhere around the green. MAX SPIN. ANY CONDITION. The striking areas of RTX 6 ZipCore Wedges include dynamic blast media and laser patterns specific to loft groupings 46°–48°, 50°–52°, and 54°–60°. Lower lofts receive a less rough blast, while higher lofts receive a rougher blast and more laser lines for more consistent dry and wet spin performance across the course. ZIPCORE Our proprietary, low-density core technology sets the Center of Gravity right where you strike the ball, giving you more consistent performance and enhanced forgiveness. Meanwhile, by adding an abundance of high/low and heel/toe MOI into every loft in the line, you’ll enjoy increased spin, consistency, feel, and control. ULTIZIP UltiZip equips RTX 6 ZipCore Wedges with a specialized sequence of deep groove lines with our sharpest groove radii ever. Tighter grooves offer more serious bite, while deeper grooves create space for grass, sand, dirt, or water to evacuate the impact zone.

Putter: TaylorMade Spider Tour Z, SuperStroke Zenergy Pistol 1.0 grip

TaylorMade Spider Tour Z Putter

$349.99
STABILITY FOR THE WIN THIN WALL UNDERCUT CONSTRUCTION We’ve engineered a super stable structure by removing excess weight to create high MOI and legendary Spider performance. STEEL WIREFRAME Allows engineers to better control weight distribution and CG location. HYBRAR ECHO® DAMPENER HYBRAR is behind the face to dampen unwanted vibrations, delivering premium sound and feel on every putt with the best possible sensation.

TSS WEIGHTING TSS weights provide balanced weighting and help optimize performance for all various putter lengths. GUNMETAL PVD FINISH The durable PVD coating creates a beautiful high-quality finish. TRUE PATH™ ALIGNMENT The patented alignment system provides visual clarity and helps golfers better envision the line to the hole. WHITE TPU PURE ROLL™ INSERT Made from a combination of Surlyn and aluminum, the white TPU Pure Roll™ insert creates a softer feel. Grooves are angled at 45° to encourage optimal forward roll as well as better sound, feel and overall roll characteristics. The white insert also creates better symmetry with the white True Path alignment. REFINED HOSEL DESIGNS Spider Tour Series includes two different hosel shapes and designs.

Ball: Srixon Z-Star XV

Srixon Z-STAR XV 8 2023 Golf Balls

$47.99
To push the limits of your game, you need a ball with all the right ingredients. That’s why the entire Z-STAR Series was designed to deliver tour-level distance, control and feel, from tee to green. Starring a reformulated FastLayer DG Core and improved Spin Skin+ coating, you, too, can experience the formula trusted by Major Champions when wins are on the line. FASTLAYER DG CORE The trade-off is age-old: hard cores are fast, soft cores are slow. But the firmer a golf ball, the harsher it feels at impact, which can reduce your confidence when the pressure is on. That’s why our new FastLayer DG Cores are soft at the center and get firmer from the inside out. The contrasting compression helps them rebound quicker off the face for incredible distance while still providing exceptional feel. NEW SPIN SKIN+ COATING This micronic layer of specialized urethane increases the cover’s degree of friction for even more spin and control. THIN, PREMIUM COVER Every Z-STAR Series golf ball features an extra thin, thermoplastic urethane cover to provide tour-level stopping power around the greens. SPEED DIMPLE PATTERN With their deep dimensions, the 338 Speed Dimples on each Z-STAR Series golf ball punch through air for a penetrating launch. Once aloft, the dimples generate lift, driving the ball upward toward its peak and maximizing glide distance during descent. When conditions get tough and the winds reach high speeds, the 338 Speed Dimples’ low drag coefficient helps the ball stay on target through the moving air and maintain distance in headwinds. Swing Speed: 100+ mph Launch: Mid-high Construction:3-Piece Cover Material: Urethane Cover Thickness: 0.5mm Compression: 102 Dimple Number: 338
