    I'll start taking him seriously as soon as he does.

    So a two time winner on tour who has won over €3 million (In Europe) and would easily have kept his card without his exemptions shouldn't be taken seriously?

    Comical

    Down to 140 now, dropping 64 places so far this year with no ranking points earned in 8 qualifying events (of which he missed the cut in 6).
    These are our concerns, trending is not good!

    He might be referring to a recent article in the Irish Times where he gave the impression that he has not going to take his golf too seriously, or as seriously as he had been. When he plays poorly and makes those kinds of noises, he leaves himself open to a bit of this type of thing. He's young, I'm sure he'll get his head around what mental approach suits him best, to keep his form good and to produce consistent quality golf.

    He's looking good for some weekend golf, he's +2, one above projected cut line.

    Interview with him in yesterday's Sunday Independent, an interesting line: "I come across as easy-going and a lot of people claim to like me for that. But when I hit a bad run of form, like right now, they criticise me for not taking it seriously enough."

    What a weird thing to say. Who are the "lots of people" who "claim to like him" and what on earth does it have to do with him being the best golfer he can be?

    It was terrible article. Nothing that was quoted was given any context and it was a bit about Lowry a bit about the state of the Irish Open and a bit about how Fota has been changed to be more challenging. It was space filler.

    Second place on his own at -6. Maybe being back in Europe will kick start his season.

    In 2011 Shane was T4 here earning 191k for his work so it is a course that he likes playing

    Very unlucky to have play suspended when you've just had 4 birdies in 5 holes.

    He'll be half cut if this delay goes on much longer.

    Hope he keeps it to under 6 pints.

    Delighted for him, just in from a late round and missed it all on TV but good level headed interview. Keep steady for the weekend now...

    Great performance from Shane - kept it together well when things were looking shaky - fair play to him.

    His shot game was top class.
    Things could have went south after the double bogey but looked very comfortable. Nice to see a pro visibly enjoying his golf too.

    long way to go yet but would be great to see him get a good result. seems to like the course so it's a mental test more than anything.
