They recovered from a shaky start and birdied the last before beating Chad Ramey and France’s Martin Trainer in a Play-Off to win.

The Irish pair began the day just two shots behind Zac Blair and Patrick Fishburn at TPC Louisiana but, just as in round three, they struggled to get going in the final round foursomes before eventually winning with a par on the first extra hole.

They were five shots off the lead with 12 holes to play before playing them in five-under to card a four-under 68 and earn a Play-Off spot on 25-under with World No.233 Ramey and 387th-ranked Trainer, who shot a sensational nine-under 63 to set the target.

The clubhouse leaders had to wait two hours and 45 minutes to learn their fate, another trip down the 18th against the Major-winning Irish duo.

In the Play-Off, Trainer found the left rough while McIlroy mis-hit his drive but still found the fairway.

Ramey pulled his second onto a cart path and while Lowry’s three-wood from 283 yards came up short in the sand, Trainer chunked their third after a drop.

McIlroy hit a long bunker shot to 12 feet below the hole and while Lowry missed for the win, Trainer missed from six feet to extend the Play-Off after Ramey opted to putt from just off the green.

It was a happy end end to a day that began with a bogey at the first after Lowry pushed his three-wood tee shot, and it bounced off a cart path into bushes.

While they birdied the par-five second, the Offaly man missed a short par putt at the third to see them slip to 11th, four shots off the lead.

They missed chances at the fourth and fifth and were five behind clubhouse leaders Ramey and Trainer, who had already set the target at 25-under, but they soon found their rhythm and birdied four of the next five holes to haul themselves back into contention.

McIlroy made a seven-footer at the seventh before Lowry chipped to a foot at the 379-yard eighth to leave them just three shots behind.

They then made a chip-and-putt birdie at the 10th before McIlroy made a 10-footer at the 11th after another great Lowry chip to leave them just one behind Ramey and Trainer.

Chances slipped by at the 12th and 14th before Lowry hit a stellar fairway bunker shot pin high at the 16th, and McIlroy converted the left to right breaking 15-footer to leave them in a three-way tie for the lead with Ramey and Trainer and overnight leaders Zac Blair and Patrick Fishburn.

Lowry had the tee shot at the 188-yard 17th but after he sprayed it right, well clear of the water, he could not make the 15-footer for par.

They were now a shot behind Ramey and Trainer and Blair and Fishburn, tied for third with playing partners Ryan Brehm and Mark Hubbard and needed a closing birdie four at worst to keep their title chances alive.

McIlroy hit a massive drive but, while Lowry pulled their 218-yard approach left of the green, the Holywood man shot a brilliant pitch to three feet.

After a long wait as Brehm and Hubbard failed to make birdie at the last and ended up tied fourth, Lowry duly converted the birdie putt for a 68, which was good enough for a two-way Play-Off, which they would go on to win.
