Watching his featured group, he is some moaner

Him throwing the microphone just showed he had lost the head

I liked Shane when he started out. But these days I find his on course attitude a bit tiresome

I always liked him but in fairness he is starting to turn into a right whinging arse wipe, throwing his toys out of the pram.

Must be a right pain to play with.

Defo think he affected his playing partners today

Gotta say it really looked like he quit when he bogeyed the par 5 after the eagle.

Shane would want to cop on.

We haven't had too many spoilt Irish kids on tour ...and he ls carrying on like a clown.

Nobody likes to play with dudes like that..

Not a great write up for Shane here

Trampas

The more he does well the more we see him which has resulted in we are seeing his moaning and swearing more and more. Which has started to change their opinion on him

He was at it for a long time but not this year until very recently. I hate seeing it and really there is no excuse for it.

Let’s see what Shane turns up today for round two. He forgets that he’s a professional at times. He needs to cop himself on, even if things are going against him. A bad day at the office isn’t an invitation to lower yourself to some of his antics lately. His world ranking is probably saving himself from more internal PGA criticism.

I know that but many on here call it passion but really his mouth is filthy as my mother would have said.

He’s just not a nice character whatsoever. His jovial happy go lucky mask was just that, a mask

I have always been super competitive and have felt like breaking things but I know it's wrong and hold it in and I eventually calm a bit.

The fact of the matter is you can't change the past, your only option is to try and make sure you do well on the next one. If you want to be a winner you have to think like that and it only takes a little bit of practice to make it your first thought after a disaster.

As far as competitiveness is concerned Seve Ballesteros said it best: I look into their eyes, shake their hand, pat their back, and wish them luck, but I am thinking, I am going to bury you.

That's how I always thought in competition regardless of whether it was golf, soccer or rugby.
