He is currently in based on his Fedex ranking but there are 4 more weeks to go before the cutoff. Geting back into the top 30 of the world rankings after the Masters would also get him in.

It has.

I presume Shane committed to Singapore unaware of how well the last 3 weeks would go.Is he getting a shed load of money for his attendance or is it a sponsor commitment or what is behind this trip.Looks like a strange move given there is a more lucrative PGA Tournament available to him this week.

Not like Shane to play more than 3 weeks in a row,would not be surprised if he doesnt play again until Masters.

He'll have to skip it after winning The Masters

Said as much in his interview after Sawgrass. Wont play again until Augusta.

Trampas

Tough conditions for the back 9.

Par 5's were Shane's problem today at level par on them. He finished -3, I'd guess the average for the par 5's was better than -2 for the top thirty. He'd be well up there if he had that score on them. Still he's right in it.

Birdie Fests not Shanes strongest suit,Par 5s play regularly lets him down.Nobody watching them,one thing about the PGA ,they get great crowds out.

Trampas

Two doubles and will be early start tomorrow

Trampas

Finds his feet and a bogey on last to ruin a perfect day

Trampas

Did Shane does his usual form when gets close to top of leaderboard and gets nervous and drops back. -5 after 11 and then goes 3 bogies in a row. 2 of them par 5’s. Maybe he has a mental struggle when leading on a Sunday when starts looking at leaderboards. Swing goes a bit off. He just seems to be off when he’s in that situation when there’s a fight on to win. Not having a gap or players around not shooting birds

It got extremely hot when he was playing the 11th. He was visibly struggling with it. He wasn't the only one.While waiting to hit his second to the 12th he was down on one knee and drinking lots of liquid. It was very clear he was extremely uncomfortable. He hit an awful second to the 12th, way left and ended up bogeying the hole after being forced to take a drop. He followed that up with two more bogeys. He was never the same for the rest of the round, there was two guys on -14 and three others on -13 when he was playing 12, Micheluzzi, Del Rey, Sharma and Enoch all fell backward around the same time.

Trampas

Should be consuming liquids constantly during the round and with salts. Drinking loads at one time is just going to flow straight through you. He’ll feel he could have won over last month.

Trampas

I see he’s dropped to 13th on the signature qualifying list. JT is 12th so a pick gone there if he doesn’t do enough to get into the top 10. I wonder will Shane get a pick or not if required

eagle eye

A good Masters will help I'm sure. Top 20 might be enough.

Looking forward to seeing how Shane tackles Augusta, I'd really give him a great shot at being in the running come Sunday evening

sssh,some of us believe in the Mocker Gods.

dublin49

bogeyed 18 and 1st by leaving putts woefully short,needs to perform on par 5s today or unlikely to be around for weekend

TheRiverman

Early in the day, but missing the cut is very likely.

The way the cut line is moving, he has every chance now

TheRiverman

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122011557#Comment_122011557

Yes, looks like it will be +3/+4 so definitely a good chance for him now.

Trampas

+4 I wouldn’t be emptying out my locker. 3 is a safe

abff

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122011585#Comment_122011585

As he’s finished on +3, I think it’s safe to assume he will be here for the weekend. I think the cut could actually go to +5, but I guess that depends on how the wind acts up this afternoon.

Hopefully, Shane will do enough over the weekend to get him into the next Signature event.

TheRiverman

He definitely hung in there over those final holes.

dublin49

hopefully they dont stop play as getting better for Shane by minute

Trampas

His bogeys are from par putts trying to drop in. Playing like a player who’s no confidence with his putter as worried about the one back

Mantis Toboggan

What a fantastic shot on 14 for eagle.

dublin49

Shane is literally where he should be ,makes cut but out it for final round,because hes one of ours we hope against hope that he will defy his standing and figure in the final shake up.Shane is a top 40/50 golfer in the world but he is not top 10,so he will generally struggle to make an impression at Majors unless he is on his A++ game or its a home fixture at the Open.

big_drive

Shane out with Mickelson for final round, hopefully he beats him
