AKRON, Ohio -- Shane Lowry of Ireland says if the Olympics were anywhere other than Rio de Janeiro, he would be the first to show up. Instead, he is the sixth golfer to withdraw because of the Zika virus.Lowry, who got married in April, said he wants to start a family and soon and he received firm medical advice from doctors in Dublin that he should not go to Rio. He joins Rory McIlroy as the top two Irish golfers who wont be in the Olympics because of Zika concerns.That means Padraig Harrington at No. 159 in the world and Seamus Power (No. 283) would play for the Irish flag in Rio.Theres too much of a gray area for me, Lowry said. Theres not a 100 percent way of saying you have it or you dont have it when you get back, so thats a problem for me and my wife, especially. If I came back from Rio and was able to say 100 percent that I didnt have it? Then it might be a different story.Lowry said he read all the material from the PGA Tour and European Tour and met specialists in Dublin.They left it to me, he said. But they advised me that if I went to them and said I was going to Rio on a holiday, they would advise me not to go. It was our decision. It was a tough decision to make. Because I wanted to go.Others who have withdrawn specifically because of Zika are Jason Day, Charl Schwartzel, Branden Grace and Marc Leishman. Lowry said if he were single, that potentially would change his plans. And if the Olympics were elsewhere?One hundred percent, Id be there. Id be the first person there, he said. I was going for the whole lot and planning to stay on afterward. But Im recently married, were thinking about starting a family and its not ideal to be going places like that.Four other golfers already have pulled out for reasons beyond Zika, such as a crammed schedule. Lowry believes the threat of Zika has to be considered more for golf than most other sports.We do seem to be more at risk, he said. Were on the golf course for six hours a day, seven hours a day. Other athletes are in a stadium. This is just my opinion, but other athletes have been training four and eight years to go to Olympics. I can see why theyre going. Its the pinnacle of their sport. Its not the pinnacle of golf yet. It could be in 20 years time. Yeezy 350 v2 Static Reflective Replica .
