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

So why does Shane Lowry not consider representing his country In the biggest sports event in the world not worthy of his time?

Just on the off chance you are not trolling, he cried off for the same reason others did. He wanted to start a family and was worried about possible zika virus infection which was rampant in Brazil at the time

Lowry is portrayed as a proud Irishman so why did he choose to skip the olympics when he actually had the rare chance to represent Ireland in the biggest sporting event in the word?

Met Shane in a pub in NYC after his decent finish at Bethpage and he was a gent.

Bit cool to think he's on the cusp of this. Not often you talk to a Major winner

Yes when he was 4 ahead of the field at the start of the Final Round of the US Open in 2016 he then shot 6 over and finished 2nd 3 behind Johnson. Still if he got to that position again that experience should be useful to him.

Amazingly he's now starting the Final Round in the same position. Hopefully different result this time and he lifts that Major.

Go on lowry, hopefully things go his way tomorrow..

Unreal stuff, cheered him on goodo on Friday, the roars when he sunk those birdies was deafening, please let this happen

He seems to be a decent spud, would be great for him to pull this off. Would set him for life.

Really hope that he pushes on and wins tomorrow. As for that g******e who queried his Irishness, get a life!

His return to form have anything to do with getting someone with a bit of experience on the bag

No. He’s the one who has to hit the shots

So his caddy just carries the bag and doesn’t say anything to Shane bar how’s it cutting and what did you watch on tv last night. Didn’t realise his caddy doesn’t give him any advice at all. Such contrast to other golfers

If you had listened to the lengthy exchange between Shane and his caddy before he played his approach shot to the 10th yesterday, I think you might change your mind.

I think his caddy has a key role to play in keeping him calm today and in helping him to make the right decisions under what is bound to be enormous pressure.

It would be great to see Shane make a fast start today, but I think a wise head on the bag will help to keep him from becoming over aggressive.

Fingers crossed!

Does a good caddy help? It sure can but he had an experienced one on the bag when he let the US Open too...

Indeed he was but ultimately Shane hit the shot. It could have gone anywhere but thankfully it ran out perfectly.

Getting a bit nervy now. Three bogeys in four holes, including two 3 putts.

A birdie on the par 5 12th would be just the tonic he needs.

Paging thread title change...

So now the question is...does he push on and get a couple more?

This was such a front running demolition he should spring on from this. An excellent way to win with no caveats or questions like some other winners

Brilliant performance by Shane. A great 4 rounds of golf around a difficult course.

donvito99

Great to see Alan Lowry there also, some player in his own right.

The great achievements in irish sport are usually a tense affair. Shane strolled in from Saturday!

Remind me

Just brilliant

An absolutely massive 2 fingers to anyone who has slagged him off

Super to see Padraig waiting to congratulate him

The weather today probably played a part as none of the top contenders got a run going. Having said that, the course is very tricky and easy to go on a run of bogeys or worse.

Best golfer won it.

basillarkin

What world ranking now

I don't follow golf but delighted to see Lowry winning it.Seen him on the Brendan O'Connor show a few weeks ago and he came across as a very likeable man,unlike a lot of the other golfers with their fake American accents calling one another "Guys"
