Shane Lowry - 2019 Champion Golfer of The Year (note first post please for posting guidance)

Rikand · 22-05-2014 12:31pm

Come on Lowry!

Steven81 · 22-05-2014 12:47pm

In 2011 Shane was T4 here earning 191k for his work so it is a course that he likes playing

TrapperChamonix · 22-05-2014 12:55pm

Very unlucky to have play suspended when you've just had 4 birdies in 5 holes.

Bluefoam · 22-05-2014 12:57pm

Why was play suspendered?

AGC · 22-05-2014 12:58pm

Doesn't look like he's taking it seriously though

TrapperChamonix · 22-05-2014 1:02pm

Lightening

PARlance · 22-05-2014 1:56pm

He'll be half cut if this delay goes on much longer.

Hope he keeps it to under 6 pints.

He's back out and birdied the 16th and 17th...

The Premier Man · 22-05-2014 2:07pm

Lighting again, has the 18th to play and he's at -8

A whole gallon under par. That's good.

All that training is paying off First Up

Speak Now · 22-05-2014 2:14pm

Wow 10 birdies with 1 to play!!!
Signs of a return to form last week, good time of the year to click.
U.S Open qualifying on Monday as well.

PARlance · 23-05-2014 5:40pm

Holding it together excellently today.
Has recovered well since a DB on. 9

Stella89 · 23-05-2014 6:51pm

Birdie birdie finish for -10

big_drive · 23-05-2014 6:53pm

Great stuff, he loves the back nine there.

Bluefoam · 23-05-2014 6:57pm

Nicely done Shano

slave1 · 23-05-2014 9:41pm

Delighted for him, just in from a late round and missed it all on TV but good level headed interview. Keep steady for the weekend now...

vienne86 · 23-05-2014 10:08pm

Great performance from Shane - kept it together well when things were looking shaky - fair play to him.

PARlance · 23-05-2014 10:48pm

His shot game was top class.
Things could have went south after the double bogey but looked very comfortable. Nice to see a pro visibly enjoying his golf too.

24-05-2014 2:24am

long way to go yet but would be great to see him get a good result. seems to like the course so it's a mental test more than anything.

First Up · 24-05-2014 8:22am

Dashed home yesterday to catch his last few holes only to find Sky had switched over to the US Seniors. Bet they would have stayed had it been Rose or Donald.

Steven81 · 24-05-2014 9:34am

Not one person in last few pages is mentioning the weight/ drinking/ casualness or his decline. Either you have it or you dont and to win 2 tournaments he has it. Lets hope two more good rounds and win no 3 is on the way

Nobody has ever disputed that he "has it" but some of us are frustrated at his seeming reluctance to use it, or at least make the most of it. Great that he is doing so this week and we all hope he can keep it up.

They showed his up and down for birdie on 17 before they finished.
Coverage was poor enough outside of the marquee groups yesterday again, If it was coming from the states Sky would be trotting out the line that it was out of their hands.

Oh and a top 5 for Shane would secure his card for next season

He has it in spades, my only worry is the short par/bogey putts when the pressure is on. His pitching is up there with the best, the stroke is unreal.

soundsham · 24-05-2014 2:36pm

Great par to start
2 shot lead now as Thomas had a 6
Nailed it over the pin on 2

Slicemeister · 24-05-2014 3:56pm

Liking his body language even though that was a missed birdie opportunity there.

Wish fellas would stop stirring it, post once in a blue moon just to say I told you so. Childish carry on.

sydneybound · 24-05-2014 4:09pm

Encouraging stuff so far, great to see.

I fear Donald at two back Bjorn will also be there or thereabouts.

Look I'd take a top 5 finish for Lowry, would be a great payday.

Let's hope he stays in there on moving day.

VRB20 · 24-05-2014 10:11pm

Given the level he's been operating at for the year huge turn in form to be in this position. Salt of the earth young man who deserves all the accolades he's
given.

abff · 25-05-2014 11:00am

If he could hold onto third spot today it would be a great result for him. Pity about that short missed birdie putt on the 18th yesterday, but his short game seems to be in great shape.

Steven81 · 25-05-2014 1:56pm

Eagle at 4th now on 11 under. Go on Shane

dar_cool · 25-05-2014 1:59pm

Boom another birdie, come on!!

Benny Cake · 25-05-2014 2:11pm

Bjorn feeling the pressure now, follows his bogey by burying it in a fairway bunker in the next...

Bjorn lying 4, short sided in a green side bunker!

soundsham · 25-05-2014 2:24pm

Going to be a super finish
Hope shane and Rory finish 1 & 2

Bluefoam · 25-05-2014 3:06pm

Hope Rory doesn't get in the way of Shane making a good finish

Benny Cake · 25-05-2014 3:19pm

Back to back birds!

soundsham · 25-05-2014 3:39pm

Crate loads of bottle there for the up and down birdie

abff · 25-05-2014 3:55pm

Unlucky to find a bush there. Double bogey to fall back into a tie for first.

slave1 · 25-05-2014 4:06pm

Great comeback with that bird on the following hole, c'mon Shane.
This is some viewing...

Felexicon · 25-05-2014 4:21pm

This is enjoyable to watch. Hope Shane hangs on to win it

basillarkin · 25-05-2014 4:45pm

Rory's to lose now unless Shane can hold his birdie putt on 17

basillarkin · 25-05-2014 4:46pm

Very poor putt

SnowDrifts · 25-05-2014 5:05pm

What a putt to finish!!! Fantastic golf! All positives to take away from this week for Shane. Was fighting at the top the whole weekend and nearly finished there. Onwards and upwards.
