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

Mr.Prodston

The putt was for eagle actually but made the birdie.

Tied 4th on -4 now

Good to see him getting golf channel coverage too.

Not watching this evening, but great to see him putting in a much better round today.

18th looked very strange on shottracker. Another bogey to finish, which is a pity. Still, 70 is good round this course.

Lovely interview with tim barter. Such a genuine guy!

Speak Now

Plays with Adam Scott today, off at 6:45pm.

Totally forgot the clocks went forward an hour last night so Florida only 4 hours behind for a few weeks.

Shane opens with a par 5.

Shane getting a decent amount of coverage. All pars so far, but let's hope some of those (longish) putts start dropping.

Top 10 would be great, top 5 fantastic.

First water of week on 10 I think, most likely cost him a 7.

Good recovery, 15 footer for bogey after 3 off the tee.

Good sand save on 11 after a good 15 footer for bogey on 10, important not to have consecutive bogeys

LuckyGent88

1 under through 16 anyway. In line for another good cheque and a step nearer to securing a full card.

PARlance

Back to -1 now with birdie on 16

Couple of pars to finish now would be give him a brilliant week, plenty dollars and ranking pts.

abff

Unlucky not to save par on the 18th.

vienne86

Dammit - bogey on the last. Finishes on +1.

LuckyGent88

Disappointing finish. Little too aggressive with his chip.
Another solid week down and hopefully he can build on this.

Bitter finish, will leave a bad taste, so close to top 10

vienne86

So how is this week likely to impact on his ranking?

Speak Now

Last years prize fund breakdown would give him $97,500 despite the bogey, bogey finish. Counts towards race to Dubai as well dont forget.

Quick guess, Louis will jump him and drop him to 43rd. Will improve his average though, probably between 5.5 and 6 pts for this week.

Webb Simpson jumps ahead of him too, should leave him at 44

I agree about Oosthuizen, but I have done a quick update and I think he will stay ahead of Webb Simpson by about 0.02 average points (2.60 vs 2.58). Shane earns 5.51 points for his finish and Simpson earns 12.92 points, but Simpson's divisor goes up from 51 to 52, which leaves him slightly behind Shane.

European Tour have updated their Race to Dubai rankings and have Lowry picking up €87,248 for the WGC. He's now 32nd in the R2D.

Looks like I got that wrong. Simpson's divisor has remained at 51, so he moves ahead of Shane.

Rats. But I like the way he's playing in the US. It seems to suit him, so I wouldn't be overly worried.
