Reading is article this morning he thinks he is already in touching distance with $730K. He feels with a half decent week at either The Open, Bridgestone or US PGA that will guarantee his tour card. He will add the Wyndham Championship to his schedule if he hasn't secured his card. As a conditional member he can only get into the FedEx playoffs with a win.

He seems to be pretty confident and plans to play both tours in the future. He actually caddied for Manchip in an Irish PGA event on Monday and will get some games in on links courses for the rest of the week.

If he stays in the top 50 playing both tours is very achievable with 4 majors and 4 WGC events counting for both tours.

Yep he mentioned he aims to kick on and try and get into the top 30 rather than hovering close to the 50 mark.

Seems very relaxed about it which is great to see.

So I see that Shane is drawn with Miguel Angel Jiminez and Pablo Larrazabal in Scotland this week - should be a bit of TV interest in that grouping.

Shane will be interviewed on the Golfweekly (Newstalk) podcast this week.They usually release it on a Thursday so a heads up.

They also release the interviews most of the time to correspond with when they are on offtheball.
Interview up on itunes since last night.

Excellent round from Shane. Had chances to go lower too which is encouraging for the next few days

charlieIRL · 10-07-2015 11:52AM

Another great round from Shane today - out with Justin Rose tomorrow so lots of TV coverage.

Looks that way already, his tee shot i would nearly have preferred to miss

HighLine · 11-07-2015 04:29PM

A very sloppy last 2 holes for Shane.. needs to try get his head back in this.

markthespark77 · 11-07-2015 05:54PM

since the 3 bogies all the coverage of him has stopped, they showing lots of rose, nice if they showed the group..

hope he can go on a Birdie run to finish his round.

Why would they show a hacker who is out of contention?

They dropped him like a hot brick for sure. Rose also had a poor day but I guess he is more "box office" than Lowry.

He had a bit of a recovery on the back 9 but +2 cost him a lot of ground. Could be out with GMac tomorrow.

Sky coverage of Irish golfers can be incredibly frustrating at times. I know he was out of contention, but Shane was lining up a birdie putt on the 18th after Rose had missed his putt. At that stage, there were only two other golfers left on the course. So what do Sky do? They cut away to show a repeat of Brooks' drive, then go to an ad break!

Anyway, Shane got the birdie and I think that means he'll be playing with Rose again tomorrow.

Disappointing day for Shane, but fair play to him for getting that birdie on the last.

The Sky commentators seem to really like Shane - they always seem to talk him up.

Anyway, on to St Andrews....BBC uninterupted coverage!

MYOPIA · 13-07-2015 10:25AM

Lets hope Shane is not saddled with the dreaded Tiger draw Thursday.
I think the R & A usually put past winners together so Shane should avoid the burden.

Tee times have been published, there is some grouping of past winners (Woods/Oosthuizen and Els/Watson for example) but Darren Clarke is playing with Matteo Manassero and a French amateur. Padraig Harrington is playing with a Chinese guy and Marc Warren so there isn't a rigid formula by the looks of things.

Shane is playing with Retif Goosen and Kevin Streelman, the 8th group on Thursday at 07:49.

So basically we won't be seeing Shane unless he's walking down the 18th on Sunday leading.

No, you will see him when he starts to make birdies. Same with any other golfer. Which means hopefully we will be seeing a lot of him.
