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

Shane needs another 2 birdies and could get them if the putter warms up.

Another, -3 now and right back in it.

Right back in it! 🤞

Shane didn't give it enough welly on that birdie attempt putt on 10.

Bogey

4 back now

It was never going to be this - he was too far back and brought too many low scoring lads back into the mix.

As it turns out - Shane might have had his work cut out to win no matter what.

what does he win for fourth?

Seems to be taken for granted a bit at times, or maybe doesn’t fit in with the identikit of what some golf types see as a top golfer. He’s a winner and doesn’t like losing and a few on here don’t really get that.

Deserves better than some of the comments from the so called golf “experts” on here.

A good result in the end another top 10 Major finish, and more experience to bank as well especially regarding that meltdown in the 3rd round. He’s a really solid professional is Shane. A Major winner and hopefully more to come.

Anyone else feel the mask is slipping a bit with Lowry ??Barking at camera men , spectators all week , acting like a bit of a dick at times . Has previous form in this respect playing Ryder cup If he was British or some other nationality we’d be calling him out for this for sure !

I really like him but he definitely gets a much easier ride from most irish golf fans Rory than Rory was ever afforded.

He got to 8 under par early in his 3rd round.

The winning score was 9 under.

He's let a gigantic opportunity slip between his fingers, he was fully capable of winning the tournament had he not imploded in the 3rd round.He was fully capable of beating Schauffele he just didn't take advantage of the incredible position he was in.

Shane may curse a bit more than Rory but he's never said he was British.

So hardly surprising Irish fans cut him more slack.

Yes the “mask” is slipping with him and has done before and I like what I see. He’s a competitor, he doesn’t like losing and while that anger led to him losing a bit of composure in the 3rd round it’s also behind the competitive nature that means he’s often at his best in the big events with top 10 finishes. Some regular golf types mightn’t like that. To hell with them. He’s going to the Olympics for Ireland again, did well in that last time, hopefully another good performance to come. Again some of your regular golf types won’t be bothered by that. Like the Ryder Cup it’s not for money so they mightn’t rate it but it provides a great spectacle for the sport of golf.
