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?

What's with the php thing? Can you not just stick a proper link in that we can click?

paulos53 · 04-02-2017 06:27PM

3 birdies in a row to start his 3rd round to get within 2 of the lead

vienne86 · 04-02-2017 06:31PM

And now a fourth birdie!

paulos53 · 04-02-2017 06:32PM

Make that 4 in a row now

markthespark77 · 04-02-2017 06:52PM

vienne86 · 04-02-2017 08:46PM

Back to 3 under for the day after 12......still a decent round.

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 · 04-02-2017 10:06PM

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

vienne86 · 04-02-2017 10:34PM

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 · 05-02-2017 09:22PM

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

vienne86 · 05-02-2017 11:51PM

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

dball · 05-02-2017 11:54PM

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

Seve OB · 06-02-2017 12:18AM

Move back into top 50?

Stays at 53

vienne86 · 06-02-2017 10:24AM

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.

Think he said he is playing riveria the week after too and then a month off.

markthespark77 · 12-02-2017 10:35PM

nice finish to the tournament, 3 birdies on the back 9. sitting in T10.. hopefully move up in the rankings.

martinkop · 13-02-2017 09:34AM

Up 2 places to 51

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

tobsey · 17-02-2017 01:45AM

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.

mickmackey1 · 17-02-2017 02:27AM

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.
