    I think the last group would have been good for Lowry, good for him to get more of that last day last group experience.

    Bet he'll be ripping about that bogey on 18 but great round.

    Where did this performance come from .

    The fact it is a links mix or a more relaxed set up.

    +1
    That's what it's all about
    The more times your there the easier it becomes

    Has to fast out of the blocks today as this one is a shoot out
    Probably needs -6 for a playoff/win minimum

    Tough ask any day
    Hope he does it

    Seems to have really planned his season well this year
    With his few trips accross to the USA doing him a pile of good on and off the course
    And now seems set for a big finish to the European tour also

    Gaining great experience all the time thanks to the exemptions from last years win

    Well it's not really surprising. In the last two events (KLM & Johnnie Walker) he's had 6 rounds in the sixtys. If it wasn't for that 73 on the last round of the KLM he would have had a great finish while at the Johnnie Walker he had a top 10. The events before that were the USPGA, Firestone and the Open and made the cut in all granted there's no cut at Firestone but it was encouraging stuff and he clearly wasn't out of his depth. I feel a real good finish like this for Shane is a little overdue. Hopefully with this week and the Portugal Masters he gets a couple of real top finishes.

    The only thing I'm gutted about is that I'm playing at 12 and will miss all the coverage, will watch the highlights at 8 but will be checking my phone every 5 minutes for updates and his progress.

    Hopefully,

    I had a few quid on him in The Open, He did ok in end at T32. Can see him win one.
    But didn't push on this year as I expected, good finish could sort that.
    Maybe I've unrealistic expectations , starting off in US is like a start again in pro golf.

    But the likes of 74 in round 3 on a near home course at Irish Open was a major let down for me. It was so uplifting to hear the support for him there. Whilest Rory was in another world, in every way.

    So a great finish or a year of consolidation , we will see ?

    Would love to see him have a faster start to 2014.

    Cooommmmoooon Shane.

    True, he's getting very little tv coverage which is very poor.

    Jaysus -

    That would turn his whole season - nearly top 10 in Race to Dubai.

    Joke of an event - great money.

    Sorry - That is just me - can't handle celeb part or culture.

    I dont really understand it. He is the only player inside the top 5 in the top 100 in the world and at that he is leading. You would think he would be the marquee player that the majority not just us irish want to see.

    Agreed, even though I like both Howell and Lewis.

    Careless there from Shane - oh dear.

    Costly couple holes.

    Notice Lowry is using new putter. When did he get rid if the 2-ball?

    3 fives on the bounce could be costly. Not finished yet though.

    Bit of a meltdown. Good pitch, but he's got to sink this one or his head will explode.
