During the episode, Shane answered a reporter's question about whether he is defensive when it comes to McIlroy. The Irish golfer pointed out that he had not thought about it, but he believes it is so.
Nobodys ever asked me that, Lowry said, as quoted by Talk Sport.
But now that you say it, I probably would do, yeah."

He gets a lot of unnecessary criticism from the general public, the golf media, the other players.
Stuff like that can weigh heavily on people. I just feel like he gets a lot of ****.
The 37-year-old points out that most people are not the same around Rory McIlroy, but that despite everything, he strives to remain the same, wanting to not be a burden or pressure on McIlroy.
When youre Rory McIlroy and youre the greatest player of our generation, people are not themselves around you.
So you meet people, you go hang out with them, and theyre not themselves.
