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

I think a Top 5 finish would be a good result at this stage now

From a 62 yesterday to a nothing burger round today. I've barely seen any coverage of Shane's round, he's done so little, he's just threading water.

2 shots gone? The hole he pulled the wrong club he still made par. The 2nd club he hit it over the green was a 3 or 5 wood from first cut so it likely jumped.

It's unlikely that he was given a bad yardage by the caddy considering they can use range finders. He knows his own yardage so any mistake is his own.

As Techdiver said, they have rangefinders, so however likely it is he got a bad yardage once, no chance it happened twice. Most likely adrenaline and or slight fliers. Needs to take responsibility himself sometimes.

So it can happen once, but definitely can't happen twice. I see. Whatever actually happened, all I'm saying is what Shane's body language suggests he think happened.

Shane’s body language often suggests such. I’ve seen him f and blind his caddy out of it when giving him a line off the tee on a par 4 because he was in a mood.

If you think the caddy gave you a bad yardage on 6 then surely you glance through the range finder on 7 if you’ve any sense, do you not?

shanes always striked me as a "it's never my fault" type of player. If he hits it wrong, he got a bad yardage.

Good result. Finding some form at the right time.

Hard to know 100% if it was Darren's fault in this case. It does look like Shane clearly overclubbed twice. Rangefinders do give the correct yardage of course. It speeds up club selection but you can still get it wrong before swinging a club. Be it lie, wind, between clubs or shot type (fade, draw, low, high etc). There's a much less likely case of the rangefinder not tagging the flag and catching the background.

Regardless, Xander played class and it needed a worldy to clip him. Surprised how much Morikawa wilted away completely.
