Speaking of Irish golf Manchip said to The Scotsman;
“It’s a great golfing environment. It’s a great sporting environment all round, in fact. I’m really into the Gaelic Games. It’s about providing an environment where the players can get the best out of themselves. When they come into squads, a lot have their own coaches already and we are very keen for them to continue working with them. We just fill in the gaps where and when they need it.”

In terms of when he started working with Lowry, Manchip has been his coach throughout his career.
The pair have formed a close relationship and Manchip has occasionally carried the Irishman's bag.
Lowry said; “We put everything out on the table and we talk about everything, scenarios, what could happen. And I think when I’m very open with him about how I’m feeling, I think that’s when I can get the best out of myself and I think that’s what he does, he gets the best out of me that way by I suppose making me talk about how I’m feeling."

On one occasion, when Lowry was in with a chance of victory in Valderrama he said;
“I was playing, had a chance to win the tournament playing the 17th. We got down and did the number and I said to him, ‘I’m absolutely sh**ting myself.’
“I don’t know what he said, but he was like, 'that’s kind of the way it is.”

Lowry also has a strength and conditioning coach called Robbie Cannon who has helped Lowry achieve more strength and flexibility.
