Stephen Brent Lowery (born October 12, 1960) is an American professional golfer.
Early life
Lowery was born in Birmingham, Alabama. Lowery won the Birmingham Golf Association Junior and State Junior in the late 1970s.
Amateur career
Lowery attended the University of Alabama. He played for coach Conrad Rehling from 1979-1983 on the Alabama Crimson Tide golf team.
Professional career

He played one of the most memorable stretches in PGA Tour history at
Lowery 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
