Well done Shane. Great to beat the world number one, no matter how it was achieved. No doubt it was a mentally tough match for him.

What will this week mean to his world ranking? If he could get another win today would it be worth a few places?

Every win helps, last 8 needed for top 50. Pettersen won on 19th. Match off at 18:44 Irish time.

Not much of a battle
Shane 4 up after 10
Not a hole list yet ..... Touching wood

He's in cruise control today, no need for the magic recovery shots like yesterday. 5 up after 12 and has hit every green in reguation (-4).

Superb from Shane today, $140K at least now. Also will count as approx €100K towards race to Dubai.

Well done Shane, super performance today.

It's great to see him doing so well. If he can keep going, he may even get into the top 50 and qualify for Doral in two weeks time. Two more wins will do it.

At this stage, Padraig Harrington is projected to be 50th in the World rankings on Monday, but 4th place would put Shane ahead of him. So one of them will definitely be at Doral. Of course, Shane will have another chance to make the top 50 next week if he gets through the qualifier for next week's tournament.

Crikey, late home from work, set sky to record and all I see of Shane is 2 putts and then a 6&5 win.

Some going.

Great for him.

thats all anyone saw, the coverage for Shane was terrible. For the lad who knocked out the world no. 1 I was expecting a bit more tv time.

Totally agree. Was a ridiculous amount of coverage.

Was I disappointed at the coverage? Yes.

Was I surprised? No.

Im not surprised that he is not getting much coverage, because he is not a household name yet.

Great to see him putting in the honest performances, and nice to have this "Shane Lowry appreciation thread" to see other people happy to see him winning too.

Well he's guaranteed 4.4 world **** points now, about the same as his 9th finish earlier this year, that will do him good.
If he wins against GMac that will bump him up to 8.9 points, about the equivalent of a top 5 finish on a well attended European event.
Last year the top 16 was $95k, top 8 was $140k :eek:

Actually, he's guaranteed at least 8.883 world ranking points. If he beats GMac, this goes up to 14.820 points and 4th place is worth 22.800 points and would take him into the top 50 and into Doral.

And am I right in saying that if he takes those 22.8 he'll be takin padraigs place in doral?

So he pockets 140K for this weekend?

In all likelihood. That what it was worth last year. The total prize fund has increased from $8.5m last year to $8.75m this year, but I can't see the extra money filtering down to those knocked out in the third round.
