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

To be honest, it's a good course, with some great holes, but I found large portions of the course were very forgettable and because there are so many houses surrounding the course, it feels like a resort. The holes around the water are great.

The thing is, I really don't remember much of the course and lot of it just blended together, whereas Sawgrass stuck clearly in my memory

Ya very disappointing , needs to bounce back quickly or otherwise he could drift away.

That's in line with what I'd have thought watching, but the NLU guys speak about it like it's some kind of dog.

Thought maybe there was something obvious for that take, but apparently not.

Exactly. It’s the difference between him being a very good player and an excellent player. He’s too much of a hot head which he hasn’t been able to shake off over the years.

He needs to treat it as a place of work. You don’t go around a workplace cursing and being petulant. He needs a good talk with himself and maybe then he’ll become consistent.

He's totally out of sorts. 2 holes in a row with really poor chips. Already played himself out of this. Shame.

Ah jaysus Shane take my advice ffs..

Doing better than Rory McIlroy whose having a nightmare round so far.

Rory hit 3 greens in regulation in 11 holes.

That's true, but given Shane's poor round 4 form and his awful record at Bay Hill a 2nd-5th finish would be an excellent result for him.

Just the half a million more for 2nd here than winning the Open in 2019!

I think the thread is unbelievable negative to him for some reason - up against the world number 1 - who has had a honeymoon equipment change.

This is an unreal return to form - and it is early in season.

Great stuff - only 1 golfer ahead with a bit more fire power (outside world number 1) - that is Clark - he is ahead of Zalatoris too - who looked unreal all week.
