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

Great recovery, should make par

There's hot starts and then there's -5 through 4. Unbelievable. The approach on the 1st was unbelievable.

That putt is worse than the one on 18th a while back when in contention to win. Terrible 3 putt

Putting is the only thing letting Shane down.

150 odd players lost this week. That's Golf. Only 1 winner and lots and lots of losers.

I think it's a very simplistic way of looking at things. He's an unbelievable shotmaker and ball striker. As good as almost anyone on tour.

His putting is behind the rest of his game, and I think his mentality can be volatile. You need everything firing at a high level to get a win.

It's very hard to keep a putter firing for straight four rounds at a level significantly higher than your baseline. He doesn't take setbacks or frustrations well and compounds errors at times. Probably not that easy to find a fix.

Regardless of the lack of an individual win. He's challenging, featuring or finishing high in most events over the last two seasons. This year, even more so. He's one of the few active players on tour with a major. Far from a journeyman by any means, and making ridiculous money along the way. There are plenty of multi event winners who won't get a whiff of a major in their careers 15-20 years

He's got a few more peak years left to make hay. I think he has another bit of growth potential in his game (putting/mentality). Time will tell if he gets there.

100%,like many I want him to be a world beater but he is what he is and has been incredibly successful so far with hopefully more to come.

looks like 8 or 9 over so playing himself out ,and thats with an eagle on a par 4.Hes getting punched in the gut early this week.
