Lowry Reunites With Former Caddie and Gains Early Confidence at Travelers Championship

Overview

• Lowry amicably split with caddie Darren Reynolds after missing the cut at the U.S. Open and asked former long‑time bagman Dermot Byrne to caddie at the Travelers Championship.
• Byrne, who worked with Lowry for almost a decade, was a local, short‑notice option after caddying nearby at the U.S. Open.
• Lowry followed a second‑round 65 with a bogey‑free six‑under 64 in round three to sit tied for fifth at 13‑under at TPC River Highlands.
• Both Lowry and media coverage describe the change as a confidence boost and a practical reset rather than a confirmed long‑term arrangement.
• The switch responds to a season of solid underlying strokes‑gained numbers but poor results caused largely by struggles around the greens and a loss of enjoyment on long rounds.
