About Steve Lowery
- Stephen Brent Lowery (born October 12, 1960) is an American professional golfer. Lowery was born in Birmingham, Alabama.
- He has PGA Tour victories in 1994, 2000 and 2008.
- All three of his victories on the PGA Tour have come in playoffs. Lowery has been featured in the top 50 of the Official World Golf Ranking.
- His best season on the PGA Tour was in 1994, when he finished 12th on the money list.
- He missed most of 2007 with a wrist injury.
- The PGA Tour granted him a partial exemption for the 2008 season.
- He needed to win more than $250,000 during his first eight starts in 2008 in order to re-gain his full exemption on the PGA Tour, but that became a moot point when he won the 2008 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
- The victory gave him a full two-year exemption. Lowery also won the Birmingham Golf Association Junior and State Junior in the late 1970s, before embarking on his four years of college at the University of Alabama.
- He played for coach Conrad Rehling from 1979-1983, on the Alabama Crimson Tide golf team. Though it was in a losing effort, Lowery played a memorable stretch of golf at The International in 2002.
- He holed out a shot from over 200 yards for a rare double eagle (or albatross) on the 71st hole to pull within one point, ultimately losing by the same margin after missing a birdie putt on the last hole.
- Coming near the very end of the tournament and creating such a close finish, Lowery's double eagle was one of the most dramatic in PGA Tour history since Gene Sarazen made a double eagle at 15 in the final round of the 1935 Masters Tournament.
- Two holes before his double eagle, Lowery also holed out a wedge from the fairway for an eagle.
