TWITTER REACTS; Joy as Shane Lowry is selected for Ryder Cup

Shane Lowry is undoubtedly one of Ireland's most popular sport stars, due to his laid back attitude and love of GAA. 

The Offaly man is known to enjoy the more normal things in life and when he is not competing in international events, is most likely to be at a local GAA match or intercounty game. 

This less extravagant lifestyle has endeared more to people in Ireland who can relate to him more quickly than others. 

And it's fair to say that his selection on the European Ryder Cup has been acclaimed by many, particularly on Twitter. 

Some argued the merits for Justin Rose, but the consensus is that Lowry deserved his pick.
