Shane Lowry snapped back at a reporter's rather bizarre question as to why he is so invested in the Ryder Cup

The reporter pressed Lowry on the subject after seeing him fist-pump Justin Rose on the 1st tee Friday afternoon. 

This was after watching the Englishman split the opening fairway as he set out for his afternoon fourballs match with Bob MacIntyre.

Lowry was benched for the afternoon session so he headed into the media centre to talk about his morning play. 

It was there where he was asked a curious question about his passion and desire for golf's greatest team event.

Here's how the interaction went down. 

On the first tee, you were fist-pumping Justin Rose finding a fairway. Why are you so invested in the Ryder Cup, and what was your first Ryder Cup memory?

Lowry replied: 

"Why wouldn't I be invested in the Ryder Cup? I'm European. I play professional golf for a living. This is where you want to be.
"I mean, we're very fortunate to have José María Olazábal with us this week. He's been very successful individually on the golf course, but people know him for the Ryder Cup. Same with Seve. You know, what do people know him for? Ryder Cup. When I finish my career, I think obviously I'm very fortunate to have a Claret Jug in my house, but you know, I really want one, if not multiple, of these under my belt as well.
"So yeah, I mean, I just love it. I love -- this is, honestly, the most special week in golf. There's a reason it's the greatest tournament in golf. Yeah."
