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

7 birdies and one bogey, great round today. Here's to 3 more of them.

WFT? Harrington golf - a 7 on a par 5 he birdied yesterday. Damm.

Ilik Urgee

Lowry 2 birdies to 8 under in the first few holes. Still not one mention of him on SS, McGinley in the studio the last 45 mins and still no utterance.:rolleyes:

Ugh a nasty 7 on the par 5 6th has got to hurt..majority of the field bird under par.

Rikand

lowry could miss the cut yet if any of the -4's move up

Jazzzman

he has zero chance of missing the cut

I was hoping Shane would be picking things up a bit more at this stage of the season. A bit of a slow start to 2013.
Was hoping he would go well at The Open , but not looking great at the moment.

BTW,

A big fan of Shane , was hoping he would kick on again from 2012. Hopefully things pick up.

DuckHook

Hopefully he can stop the downward trend in the rankings alright will struggle to get into the likes of the masters. I'm sure a good showing this weekend and in the open will spur Shane on.

I know it may sound harsh but beating Rory in the match play earlier this year was perhaps a misfortune, IMHO he should stick to regular Euro events, back and forth across the Atlantic does not work for him. Heat over here is a different league.

Very quiet on here so an update is Shane is +1 through 8 so 4 over overall. Will be great for him if he made the cut.

Looks like he's in
Hopefully can score well early tomorrow

Well the early starters have had the best of it over the first two days. Tbf himself and Harrington will have to shoot the lights out of it over the weekend to secure a top 10.

Did well to make the cut considering the lack of birdies he's had.

Good tee shot on the first today

Panrich

Two over par on the par 5's this week and a lack of birdies all round has cost him. From the little I saw today, he wasn't putting himself in good positions off the tee to get close to the pins.

Enjoying his last round with Cink. Both -3 after 12.

Nice start in Gleneagles, par, eagle, birdie.

How he'd love to be back next September.

Is he playing with McGinley too? Shockingly weak field there.

McGinley is playing with Lowry.

Hardly "shockingly" weak. Half the top 80 in Race to Dubai are playing. Dont forget its the first week of the Fed Ex cup play offs.

Still weak though. Only seven ahead of Lowry in the rankings, and considering it's the Ryder Cup venue I thought a few of the European-Americans might make the trip. It's a shame for the organisers that they can't even put together a 'marquee group' as such.

Timing is very unfortunate in that it clashes with the opening week of the FedEx Cup playoffs. They might have got a better field if they had held it last week.

soundsham

Well positioned for a nice cheque again
Super stuff

big_drive

Lowry birdies 1 & 2 to move to 4th place

Could have a run at this thing if he picks up another few on front 9 and the leaders wobble

It's a crowded leaderboard so could be anyone's at end of day

me89

Just one behind now, leader in trouble.
come on Shane.

Benny Cake

Atta boy Lowry! Lovely birdie...

Speak Now

Bogeys on 15 and 17 killed his chance.

Speak Now

Wont be happy with that, only a par on 18th. Barely top 10 in the end. Lots of cash burnt in last 4 holes in race 2 Dubai.

Great start today. 4 under after 7.

Looks like Shane's off to play for Ireland in the World Cup in Australia.
