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

Just for the record about Shane Lowry. His girlfriend or his former
girlfriend has NOT had a 'Kid' as has been suggested. Total nonsense and misinformation that has been in circulation for the past few months.

Ah nice one. Is he playin in the b open next week

abff · 13-07-2012 10:13PM

No, unless he qualifies from the Scottish Open. Only player from south of the border is PH.

charlieIRL · 14-07-2012 12:03AM

some coverage of Lowry at last, thank you BBC !!

Aidric · 14-07-2012 11:52AM

Playing with Luke Donald today. I predict a crumble.

slave1 · 14-07-2012 12:10PM

Doubt it, Luke is good under the cosh;)

rednik · 14-07-2012 12:22PM

Sky are not showing the golf live today or tomorrow, it is on BBC2 from 1pm.

gymman39 · 14-07-2012 12:53PM

2 under through 2...good crumble alright

Neeson · 14-07-2012 12:58PM

Thought this gut curled into a ditch way back years ago after he played in that Irish Open or something. He musn't be up to much, haven't heard anything on him.

gymman39 · 14-07-2012 01:07PM

ye your right..he only earned 850000 last year..

Ah don't worry about it it's probably because your head is too far up you own ass to hear anything about it.He has only racked up over 1.5million as a pro I bet he hates himself.

3 under through 3.

Oh right well he must be doing alright for himself with that kind of money. I've never read anything in the papers or seen any reports on the news.

mr.jingle · 14-07-2012 01:49PM

Anytime he seems to gather momentum he throws shots back to the course with a double bogey. Its the third time he's done that this week, must be very frustrating for him ruining what was another great start

He wasn't with Donald

Is there really only 3 hours of live coverage of the golf on tv today? ðŸ˜¢

The sooner ALL golf is taken away from BBC the better. People go on about them as if they are the Gods of Golf coverage when in fact their coverage is so amateur it's not even funny. Peter Alliss used to be worth listening to, but now the poor man is so out of touch with the game, and makes so many mistakes, that it's getting embarrassing. BBC's coverage is instantly recognisable for the amount of errors, mistakes, and camera gaffs that it makes.

SKY get abuse all the time, yet show extensive coverage of two events EVERY WEEK.

abouttobebanned · 15-07-2012 11:39AM

For those interested it's probably on the RED button earlier.

slave1 · 15-07-2012 07:35PM

11th, €50,790.03, nice...

Tones69 · 15-07-2012 07:58PM

Just looking there at the prize funds. If you make the cut every week you're gonna get at least 5k regardless. Thats still a serious living for the guys who are in no spotlight and are still shooting consistent -1 and -2 rounds of golf. All the free gear and food and whatever else too.

50k there for shane lowry and to be fair hes been maknig a lot of cuts and making top 20s too, id say hes rackin it up nicely now fair play

Tied for 12th at the greenbrier last week got 120k USD, some difference in pay days if ur a pro over there making cuts!!! 11.5k USD for the lowest

joebloggs123 · 15-07-2012 08:18PM

€210,619 in 2012 so far.

Yes, but you'd need to do a bit more than that to keep your card.

Do you? Im sure if ur making most cuts ul be keeping your card???

Keano · 15-07-2012 08:46PM

They have to finish in the top 115 in the race to Dubai to retain the card. Making the cuts are fine but only picking up small cheques is probably not enough

WHIP IT! · 15-07-2012 08:58PM

I remember hearing a stat on Golf Channel or Sky Sports or something a few years back, they checked out how much money you would have won on the PGA Tour the previous year (say 2004 or whatever) if you had made the cut at every event and finished in last place... You would have made $600,000 but lost your card.

Unbelievable money to be played for on both Tours, to be fair...

Last year you needed to win over 250,00 to make the top 115.

Damien McGrane was 115 and in fact the next three (down to Philip Price) kept their cards as well.
