Lowry: My heart goes out to families of the victims of the Grenfell fire
Shane Lowry

FORMER Open champion Shane Lowry has said his “heart goes out” to the families of the victims of the Grenfell fire.

Lowry ended his partnership with construction firm Kingspan on Tuesday, a week after the publication of the report into the fire.

The Ryder Cup player had come under pressure to end his sponsorship deal with the Irish building materials company since the Grenfell Tower tragedy, in which 72 people died in west London in June 2017.
