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

Trampas

With Shane going to be starting his first full year on the tour what does he need to do to make him a better golfer?

I see he is 121st in scrambling so I guess his short game needs a touch up.

I say fitness is a key also.

Thankfully he has exemptions which should take some pressure of his game to allow his improve areas of his game he feels need strengthening.

MOD EDIT: Zero discussions around Shane's weight or body shape, any such posts will result in warnings, thank you

Who writes the golf coverage in the Independent? Lowry played the back nine first last night and started well, then played the front nine level par. They have it in reverse.

He shot 69 day one, 68 on Friday, again they gave it wrong. Surely if you get paid to write an article you should know this?

paulos53

Sorry- Tried to put the link in from my phone and don't know what went wrong.

Lowry stuck it into 5 feet on 16, missed the putt unfortunately. sky haven't shown him at all.

vienne86

Finally they show him getting a birdie on 17. -10 now.

vienne86

And then they showed him making a poor approach to the 18th.......thankfully he still got his par. Good day for Shane - shot 66, his best round so far.

If he's Irish he can **** off as far as sky ate concerned.

I think it's an american feed sky use so the have no control over who or what golf is shown

Just got to catch up on all the sport today. Seen on snapchat that Shane was giving cans of Guinness out to the crows on 16

Apparently around 200 thousand fans in Arizona today!!!! That's absolutely ridiculous

Yeah but the atmosphere isn't coming across on the TV as anything special. Could be just the production.

It does seem more muted than usual.

Ha ha. I assume they store all the give away stuff at the 16th.

vienne86

Needs a good finish to make this respectable ....+1 for the day. Down to 25th now.

vienne86

Disappointing level par round today, but tied 16th should get him a decent cheque.

dball

great to see him in the top 20 with very little golf played in the past few months, great way to start the year

I think he's playing in Pebble Beach this week.....could do with another good week....and then taking a month off as the Lowry's expecting their first sprog.

He seems to be in the field for this week, so let's hope for another good week.

I've been following Shane closely over the last few weeks and I've noticed he seems to be missing a lot of putts from inside 5 feet. Just a while ago he had a par putt from 4' 6" and missed. He seems to be doing it a lot. By contrast mcdowell just had a near 10 footer for par on the par 3 and sure enough he holed it. Has Shane always been weak with the putter from that range or has something changed?

I know taking two putts in isolation as above isn't a great sample for the two, but I have noticed it with Lowry recently. Not just par putts either, I've seen a few birdie chances missed from that range as well.

His putting has always seemed inordinately quick to me, as if proper care and attention are to be disdained. Refreshing in some ways but wouldn't be surprised if it comes back to bite him.
