    Kind of lost his way last couple of weeks.

    I see he hit a provo on one hole. Did they tell him they weren’t going to look for his ball

    Read my post and said I’ll show you.

    Hi Shane. Didn’t realise you read this thread

    Second best round of the day in progress and still no tv coverage. Maybe when there’s only 30 next week we might get to see one shot.

    He’s outside the top 20 until last birdie so why should he be in the coverage. Players higher up the leaderboard on the course. Yes they could have maybe shown a few shots but I guess he’s paying for having a poor round yesterday

    I think they just show the same 5 or 6 every round now. Very few outside Scheffler, Shauffle and a few more.

    Detry is having a nightmare. Wonder how that plays in Shane's mind. Seems to be holding it together so far

    is Shane driving about 20 yards than he used to. He always hit about the 310 mark , but he seems to be hitting 330 to 340 recently

    altitude of the course. Air is lighter so ball goes further

    a cool half a million for finishing in last place this week. after that everything else is a bonus. Scottie not looking as imperious as earlier in the year. Xander looking like possibly the favorite

    Lowry bagged a $2m bonus for finishing 10th on regular season standings. Nice work.

    Hovland had some performance last year in the last two events. It's one weekend of golf, so be super aggressive and with a bit of luck there's a big payday. Rory reeled in Scheffler in the year before with a pretty epic finish whereas Hovland's form was a career peak. Schauffele had a -19 to match Hovland last year but his starting rank was too low and ceded too many shots.

    Have to be favouring the in-form golfers over last month or so. Aberg, Hideki, Scheffler, Schauffele have the right form and season to be hard to see past. Even Burns enters the discussion with consecutive top 5s. Hard to see Rory piece together 4 good rounds.

    The field needs Scheffler, Schauffele and Hideki to take a tumble early. Would love to see Aberg shoot the lights out early doors, he's absolutely class.

    Saw an interesting fact. Aberg can become the first winner of the Fedex to not win a single event all season. He can win it without having to even win this weekend.

    I know an unlikely event, but bizarre possibility

    Awful start today. I guess just go through the motions until finish on Sunday

    Super day for Shane. Get on the Offaly man. He is capable of great things

    Got to give credit to Shane. His driving accuracy is superb. If he could get the same accuracy out of his irons he really is up there with the best of them

    Top 10 fed ex finish is a great ending to a decent season for Shane.

    With all his winnings this weekend he will surely ask Davy Fitz to manage the Offaly hurlers at some stage😀

    He seemed to drive the ball well this week,chipped well,played par 5s decently and got some putts to drop.Hope Stats dont make a liar of me but that was my impression.

    Looking at his stats his scrambling and putting are where he’s struggling. Would have thought his scrambling would be better especially what you hear on comms but I guess stats don’t lie

    He has good touch for a big man as they say 😉

    They definitely over egg his chipping on the broadcast, it's decent but he's nowhere near the best.

    Rory, Scottie and Xander are incredible around the greens.

    His scrambling stats are mostly affected by his worse than average putting though I'd say. He often hits good to decent chips to 3/4 feet but doesn't always hold them.

    Saw last week that he's number 1 on the PGA Tour for 3-putt avoidance. Up to 359 consecutive holes without a 3-putt. He's obviously a brilliant lag putter. I was a bit surprised because he seems to miss his fair share of short putts. Would love to see him pick up a win before the end of the year. Very good year overall though.

    He said himself on a YouTube clip I watched not long ago that people talk about his short game but that it's actually the worst part of his game, and the stats don't lie.

    From his perspective its his approach/iron game that he reckons is his biggest strength

    Has finally ended up partnership with kingspan.

    It took him to long to do it. He’s been called out many times and did nothing. Now with the judgement and gone. Nothing to do with judgement and playing in wentworth next week.

    Refusing to talk about it. He’s going to get even more grilled next week. He knows he can’t give them an answer why he hadn’t drop them over the years and why has he done it now

    Due process. The reality is sportsmen are t qualified to answer questions about things like this.

    He wouldn't have split with them if it was 10 years ago .
