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

Having been over par through the front nine a -1 opening round was decent enough.

No, and golf is a tough sport mentally at professional level, but there is an ongoing inconsistency in his game. Thankfully he has done enough today to make the cut.

100% ,should earn another circa 300K today bringing him over 2 mill in 3 weeks,sensational from where he was,hopefully he can now play where he wants and copperfasten his position at the top end of tour.Maybe falling out of the golden circle will give a wake up call that will work to his advantage longer term.

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.

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.

Shane Favourite in Singapore this week

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.

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.

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

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

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

He definitely hung in there over those final holes.

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.

Someone asked above ..but I'd always fancy him for an Open again..bad weather ..poor scoring and basically about strategy and getting up and down...

He does seem a bit more focused lately..hoping for a good season..

I would say, he could do with getting rid of the most cranky lad on a course image (him and hatton most notable ones ) ..he could do with dropping that crap.

Whilst entertainment..the majority of golfers don't like it and it's value to performance is very questionable...it just distracts from focus..

Watch the top guys today..very few are on emotional roller coasters..and if thry are , they don't show...as helps opponents too..Bryson probably a rare exception in top 10..

Fallen behind Olazabal now!!

When it comes to Majors, he is the greatest one hit wonder since Norman Greenbaum or Mungo Jerry 😂.

I'm confident he'll add another major over the next few years. As mentioned above he's finished high in all 4 at some point so his game is good enough in all types of courses and conditions.
