Why does it say Ross Fisher - Dublin on that ?

Could be his management company or he might now be living in one of the 21 towns named Dublin in the U.S now that he has a PGA card.

There's a regular spot on the tour that's played in Dublin, USA.
Not sure of the course name.

All the US ones have the state after it, like Dublin, OH or whatever. Like the very first one - Harmony, FL

All the "foreign" ones have no state name or country or anything eg Shane Lowry - Maynooth, Alexander Noren - Monte Carlo, Robert Karlsson - London.

Ross Fisher is just Dublin which would lead you to believe its Dublin Ireland, not somewhere in the US.

Maybe Ross is looking for a way to get into the Rio Olympics by declaring for Ireland :eek:

If Shane does well this week and makes top 50 is he in Doral?

First reason so, he's management company. Lowry is Maynooth

Yes top 50 next Monday gets in.

Big ask though to get through the qualifier and then have a brilliant Honda classic though!

He gets in a PGA tour event regardless, thanks to a sponsors invite he's in the field for the Puerto Rico Open which runs the same weekend as the Cadillac.

So at worst 2 weeks in Florida for Shane worst case as he's staying over

How come Shane didn't automatically qualify for Honda after posting a Top 10 at the WGC? I thought that any player in the top ten from the previous week automatically get into the next event on the PGA Tour?

I dont think that rule counts for WGC and Majors as these events are co hosted by all tours in theory.

is there any live link showing the scoring for the qualifying?

He teed off at 8.44 local time http://www.sfpgagolf.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Pairings-and-Alpha-Mayacoo.pdf.
Results will be posted here http://www.sfpgagolf.com/tour-qualifiers/honda-open-qualifiers/ on completion of his round under the Results Mayacoo section.
Monday qualifiers are not well documented so social media may have results quicker than the page above. Try asking the man himself around 18.45 Irish time.

Has Lowry now overtaken Padraig Harrington as the RoI's top golfer?
If not, surely it is only a matter of time.
Lowry has the potential to be one of the biggest golfers Ireland has ever produced, once he starts backing himself a little more.

He did at the end of last year, Harro ahead of him again. 50th Vs 62nd.

"Shot -4 in the qualifier today folks. Have to sit and wait around now. Might miss the Honda by 1 but could be a playoff yet. #waitinggame"

Shane missed out by a shot. Pity.

Unfortunately missed qualifying for the Honda classic by a shot folks. #ahwell #thatsgolf

Unlucky, was always a big ask. Off to Puerto Rico next week so :cool:

SnowDrifts

Shame - anyway, onwards and upwards, he is playing so terrific golf at the moment so I hope it continues.

Well done to Noren and Donaldson, would have been some crazy play off if one of the 66's had been 1 worse :eek:

SSK

Pity, would have been nice to see him in a regualr tour event in the States. Plenty more to come in the future hopefully.

Marcus Fraser made an interesting point that the Euro Tour had as much quality as the PGA Tour. While this is clearly not the case at the moment, there is a very good crop of young players in the "2nd tier" of the Euro Tour now. Noren, Lowry, Cabrera-Bello, Manessero, Olesen, Ramsey etc are a very talented bunch who would be well able to compete if they were playing full time in the States

Shane Lowry is starting to get some nice press in the US of A..

That's a nice article.



I see he tweeted last night that Rory was going to win the masters.

Nice article but if you read the comments in the bottom of the article, they go on to say he was a no-show at the second round of the event.........hardlya great example is it?

Not his fault, he had a sore tooth

Afternoon Tee time in Puerto Rico, 4:40 PM Irish time with Erik Compton and Peter Uihlein.

Early scoring conditions are good, Andres Romero -6 after 11. No shot tracker this week.

Shane was 40/1 with the bookies. He must be one of the highest ranked players in the field though so must be worth an each way bet?

I wouldn't back him, id say he might find the going tough enough. Hopefully you're right though.

Quadruple bogey on 17 to go +6....

abff

Bit of a disaster really. But I guess it's all part of a learning curve.
