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

bigtimecharlie

Was hoping that he would make the cut. Different conditions, humidity, climate etc not in his favour.

Probably better not to be at Masters this year, get another year's experience under his (narrowing) belt.

Poor showing but he'll learn from it.

Just noticed Angel Cabrera Jr on the line up. Is he a son of the noncholant Angel Cabrera?

Yep, very nice invite to pick up. Needs to do considerably better then his last outing on the PGA tour.

Draw for the Shell Houston open

Round 1 - 10th tee - 9.10 a.m (2.10 p.m our time) - Shane Lowry, D.H Lee, Ben Kohles.

Round 2 - 1st tee - 2.10 p.m (7.10 p.m our time)

Texas currently 5 hours behind, will become 6 on Easter Sunday.

Best of luck to Shane, making his first cut in a regular PGA tour event would be a good confidence boost.

Did Shane's clubs turn up or will he be using replacements?

He tweeted that British Airways had lost them.

He tweeted recently he has a new set of Cleveland's

Steady start anyway, -2 after 4.

loadwire

got to -3 briefly but has fallen back to level par now. Still 5 holes left, hopefully he can regroup and finish under par.

slave1

Finished with a bird, nice to finish below par, same again and he should make the cut

Hopefully. C'mon Shane.

Is a trip to the masters still open to him if he finishes high enough?

slave1

Well, put it this way, if he wins then he's in, I think (but stand to be corrected) he would have to break the top 50, not really possible without a significant finish.

Not thats it's likely but top 3.

Of course a top 10 would move him up the rankings and give him another chance next week.

Lets hope he makes the cut today for starters, very congested around -1 and par.

Thats not right, a win only here is the last spot AFAIK!

Maybe you misunderstood me, im not saying a top 3 for anyone. The winner gets in regardless of WGC rankings but a top 3 for Shane could jump from 69th to top 50.

Really hope Sky show a bit of his round tonight. Come on Shane. Hope he's off on the easier back 9,ease himself into a sub-par round and get to see the irish flag on the shot tracker for the weekend.

soundsham

Afternoon scoring 2 shots harder than morning yesterday

Same expected today maybe shot and a half as the course is drying out
Making the cut would be great

Hope he does better but 4 rounds would be more valuable experience as he is progressing along nicely every year

Another short putt missed. Hopefully he can claw it back on the back 9.

Ilik Urgee

Hopefully he can make it.

bigtimecharlie

Won't make it now, double bogey on 12th.
