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

Remind me

If it's a 2 tee start they would be too quick going out first and would be waiting after 9

SeeMoreBut

He's in 2 ball for first 2 days. Brooks out so another 2 ball.

You'd think they would split the 3 2balls and into 2 3balls but no as tee times set

Interesting front 9 by Shane tonight. 3 birdies 3 bogeys 3 pars!!

His bounce back stats are up 3/3

Good back nine for Shane to give him a chance of making the cut. Unfortunately, he failed to birdie the par 5 7th, which leaves him needing a birdie in the last two holes to have a chance of making it to the weekend.

abff

Just bogeyed the 8th, so that's that. Pity!

Our players are really struggling at present.I cannot see any of them winning or even challenging for the remainder of this season.
Dustin Johnson on fire,if only we could say that about Shane Lowry and Rory McIlroy

Playing the Irish Open.

Didn't think he would. I wonder will he play a few more events on UK swing

He'll be in the US till after the US Open and then flying direct to Northern Ireland for week of Irish Open.

After that who knows but he will have to get back to US at least a couple of weeks before Augusta.

Lowry explained: "Srixon came out with a new set of irons. They look a little bit different to what I’ve been using, but they perform pretty much the same and I find the irons easy to change.

"And my driver, to be honest, I drove the ball pretty poorly over the last while and I do feel like there might be something wrong with the old driver. I used it for a couple of years, maybe it’s gone a little bit.

"I was getting some weird numbers on TrackMan and stuff, so decided to put a new driver in the bag. I used it the last couple of days and I’ve hit it pretty well, so I’m excited to see what they’re like."

I thought the UK (including NI) is applying a 14 day quarantine requirement for anyone arriving from countries that are not on their green list. As far as I know, the US is not on the green list.

That being the case, how can Shane play in the Irish Open if he is playing in the US Open the previous weekend?

I believe UK have an exemption for athletes, it's apparently one of the reasons why NI course was picked. Gives the likes of Lowry a chance to come back for it

The new clubs not working so well today,tied for 77th place at present.

Trampas

Missing cut after a good first round won’t do his confidence any good but who knows we’ve seen golfers go from bad to go and maybe Shane might do the same.

TheRiverman

Six over today, another missed cut coming up tomorrow.

SeeMoreBut

Had a good start and all.

Not in the groove much since coming back apart from 1 week.

Return back to these shores might help

Birdied 2 of his last 3 holes to finish level par for the day and +6 for the tournament. Might just be enough to make the cut

Fingers crossed!

paulos53

His level par is the 3rd best round of the morning half of the draw. If the scoring stays like that in the afternoon he should make it in

Projected cut is +7, theres no worry about the cut line for Shane.

I don’t think +7 is guaranteed, but +6 is starting to look pretty safe. Mind you, there’s still 65 players on +5 or better, with only 60 plus ties making the cut, so it’s not absolutely guaranteed yet.

Players at +6 have absolutely nothing to be worried about.

cut is at +5

paulos53

The US Open website are using average hole scores to predict what scores players will finish on to estimate the cut.

The cut is currently +5 but they are predicting it will go out to +7

Seve OB

1 bad shot away from the right person to go to +6 now

You’re probably right, but I’m not totally convinced that the TV channel has allowed for the fact that the cut for this event is top 60 plus ties.

At this stage, +6 looks pretty safe, but +7 is still in the balance.

"Pretty safe"? There is no concern there at all. Currently 54th.

abff

Tied 56th according to the PGA Tour website. But I agree that the cut is only going to go in one direction, which is good news for Shane.

I’m not sure I would have been quite so confident over an hour ago, when you posted that players at +6 had absolutely nothing to be worried about.

But they didn't. +6 had nothing to worry about 4 hours ago.

Also, the PGA Tour don't run this event so their leaderboard is just a delayed feed. USGA for the up to date leaderboard. 52nd now.

tobsey

There’s a dedicated US Open app. They’ve had the projected cut on it all day using the average scores on the holes to estimate it. They had it at +7 at one stage a few hours ago but it’s at +6 now.

I think Lowry was just inside the top 90 when he finished and looks like he’ll comfortably make the cut. That was a seriously impressive round today especially since he kept going and made the birdies when he really had to.
