After Rory McIlroy finally won his elusive first Masters green jacket, his friend Shane Lowry hinted he might be close to hanging things up for good. "This means everything to him," Lowry, 38, told Golf Channel.

McIlroy was crying fresh tears of joy while Lowry was all smiles and lifted up his soon-to-be green-jacketed friend in triumph.

Ending Round 3 at the Masters with two bogeys, Lowry got heated afterward when the media asked about his friend Rory McIlroy's lead and ended his interview session early.
