PGA says $253,623 from 3 events unless maybe the HSBC doesn't count towards his earnings because he wasn't an affiliate/associate member at the time???

ESPN has him in 81st place $318,623 earned.

Still showing as 40th on OWGR site?

European Tour still saying 39th. Even though the PGA have him down as 3 events, I don't think they've added yesterday's cheque to it. HSBC def goes towards this years pursuit of a card.

I'm going to wait for the Americans to wake up or for abff to clear it all up!

Last week was his first event as an associate member, I'd say that's it.

He's still 40th on the OWGR. The gap in average points to the guy above him is only 0.0002 so it would have been easy for someone crunching the numbers at home to get it wrong.

Just goes to show, he needs to be hitting top 10's or teens to gain in the rankings (okay, all else being equal).
Very hopeful for Shane this year...

vienne86 · 16-02-2015 6:45pm

He's had a good two weeks in the US. Keep going like that and he will get his card. And I would expect him to get more TV coverage too - I can see the TV guys warming to him.

Met the man himself at the coronas concert last night, really sound and humble guy which makes me like him even more, he was saying hopefully he can push on from his recent good finishes, back over in america next week he said, Heres hoping he can do well and get his card sorted soon

Dropped to 42 in the OWGR. Is he playing this week?

abff · 23-02-2015 10:52am

According to the schedule on his website, he's not playing this week and his next tournament is the WGC Cadillac the following week.

Good to see him taking his conditioning seriously.

Glad to see Stevie G get a mention. Used to admire him on the putting green and around the course when I first started golf a few years ago. Never mind the fancy sports car sitting in the car park!

LuckyGent88 · 05-03-2015 11:23pm

Great chance of an eagle on his 17th hole of the day. Could get him to 2 under which is in a good position after the first round.

vienne86 · 05-03-2015 11:25pm

Eagle at 8 (17th) - tied 8th now. Well done Shane.....9 is tricky, so fingers crossed.

He got it and a nice little click of the heals too

charlieIRL · 05-03-2015 11:30pm

He's going along great, fitting in great on the pga.
Sky commentators praising him again which is great to hear.

irishash · 05-03-2015 11:48pm

Bogey on the 9th. Still -1 a decent start. Something to build on.

vienne86 · 05-03-2015 11:48pm

Rats! Bogey on the last. But -1 is a great opening round on this course. Tied 13th. Splendid!

Rikand · 05-03-2015 11:49pm

Come on Lowry!

vienne86 · 06-03-2015 7:20pm

Quiet so far....1 over after 7.

irishash · 06-03-2015 8:54pm

He was +1 for his round for a long time, made a good birdie on par 5 12th, then bogeys on the next 2 holes. +2 for the round, +1 overall. Hopefully he can pick up a couple on the next 3 and par the horrible last.

irishash · 06-03-2015 9:04pm

Back to level with a birdie at the 15th. Long putt too, hopefully will give him confidence to push on now, but you could have said that after the 12th.

vienne86 · 07-03-2015 9:19am

Ok, a bit disappointing last night. Hopefully he can smarten up today.

Old diesel · 07-03-2015 11:21am

He isn't always going to get it perfect - nature of the game I guess

Top 25 at half way on his first trip to Doral, doing very well IMO.

A fine point

I was responding to the "a bit disappointing last night" point someone made

Shane playing some great golf today... on a bit of a charge up the leaderboard.

Lovely approach to 5. Should get him to 2 under.

LuckyGent88 · 07-03-2015 7:12pm

Now 4 under through 6 holes for his today. 3 under in total and charging up the leaderboard.

Mr.Prodston · 07-03-2015 7:36pm

He's had an excellent round so far, another birdie chance coming up.
