On the grapes on Thursday night explains his good round. I guess he’ll had the same again last night
Like Jekyll and Hyde -golf is weird like that . Consider the Japanese Hoshino….6 over y'day ….9 under today.
There can't be too many sports where you play like a champ one day and a chump the next or vice versa.
must have got out of the other side of bed
Couple of tap in birds in a row and he's inside the cut line.
Exactly, needs domestic DP appearances
They have Rahm, theyre not forking out appearance money for Lowry. Shane is mad to play the Ryder Cup, no other reason for him to be there. And doesnt look like it's going to pay off unfortunately.
he must be on appearance money to play there, sponsors wont be pleased if he misses cut
14 pars and 4 bogeys 🥺😡.
Bad round in Madrid. Fuel the plane I’m on the way
He used to serve me in that Pro shop, who knew!
He’ll soon be well set up to run that pro shop.
He's had a strange year, just the two DP events outside the Majors I think so concentrating on the PGA circuit and took in A LOT of cash so fair dues, rinse and repeat for another year or so and (if not already) set up for life
Shane has never been less likeable on the course, between his woe is me demeanour and his needlessly harsh interactions with officials and spectators. And yet hes probably had the most consitant year of his career. Maybe unloading often and sincerely is the best thing for him. Jimmy Connors always said he played worse when he tried to hold in frustration, seems like Shane has come to the same conclusion.
And Im not judging him here. Golf is infuriating for the best of us and we're not playing it for a living where you have to deal with stupidly long rounds, rulings, the public and play shots that legitimately have thousands of euro / ryder cup points riding on them 4 days a week. Im surprised the majority arent more like him!
I like Shane ..big fan..and like that he is who he is .
But the **** and effing out of him today at that location, was a bit face palm
Like if you are at a wedding..you do behave yourself for the first 1/2...
Has he any self control...
Wentworth really suits his eye. Pity his bogies from 2 short misses
Great start today, but then **** on the eggs.
Playing well now. The back to back 5 seem to have given him a boost
Awful bogey just now...just shy of green on par 4 in 1, rans his eagle putt past the hole down the slope, doesn't get up and down
yeah can’t see much wrong- allowed due process to play out and dropped them when report came out
Sports podcasts/radio etc have a lot of dead air to fill so dragging this out
I didnt suggest he did anything wrong,I just commented on the fact that it became topical at the time of the Irish Open,when you are a golfer with big sponsors and a sensitive issue like this arises it is crucial to manage the media correctly to minimise any fallout.
People haven't much to do if they are talking about a golfer dropping a sponsor.
Relax or you can have the weekend off.
There was a report released of the serious incident, his sponsors company's name was mentioned, he decided it best to drop the sponsor & put out a release informing same also announcing he won't be talking further about it. A terrible incident of course, but I don't see the big deal as it relates to Lowry. He did right by it surely, dropped the company as a sponsor as he felt their brand has become tarnished, he did it in a mature way, no? What did Shane do wrong, should he not have signed up to them in the first place, or dropped them as a sponsor before the release of the report?
Okay don't take a day off. You keep at it.
hes hoping Rory breaks course record today and sucks up all the media attention.Probably unlucky hes at home when this became topical again as if it was in the States there would be lot less interest in him.I would imagine his sponsporship manager has taken a kicking over this.
Hes a sports player and this is a sponsor of one of many of his.. Not his fault or anything to do with him really plus it happened in another country! I bet at the time he didn't even know Kingspan was involved I wouldnt. People just love a good moan and I have even lost a bit of respect on Lowry regards his temper tantrums in The Open.
Is it not categorically proven that Kingspan insulation had no impact on the fire in Grenfell. The main reason for the fire spread was the PE ACM cladding, which was not a Kingspan product.
Kingspan have erred however by being a bit sneaky with their compliance paperwork. They knowingly said a product had a certain certification when it didn't. This in itself is a fair reason to several ties - they were dishonest. But is it not a bit unfair to sever ties and linking it to the horrendous events at Grenfell?
I’d serious doubt he signed a deal that hasn’t been renewed in the last few years.
It will be forgotten about it in a few weeks but next week might even be harder on him
Sometimes it's also not as simple as pushing the exit button on a contract. Could be strict exit clause implications that had to be played out. Or it could have been a simple € decision to carry on until findings are released. Ultimately you're not going to get your answer. Make what you will of the situation.
Right or wrong, it will be forgotten by the time the next Irish Open comes around.
Then why did he drop them if nobody cares
