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

Trampas

With Shane going to be starting his first full year on the tour what does he need to do to make him a better golfer?

I see he is 121st in scrambling so I guess his short game needs a touch up.

I say fitness is a key also.

Thankfully he has exemptions which should take some pressure of his game to allow his improve areas of his game he feels need strengthening.

MOD EDIT: Zero discussions around Shane's weight or body shape, any such posts will result in warnings, thank you

First Up

Dashed home yesterday to catch his last few holes only to find Sky had switched over to the US Seniors. Bet they would have stayed had it been Rose or Donald.

Not one person in last few pages is mentioning the weight/ drinking/ casualness or his decline. Either you have it or you dont and to win 2 tournaments he has it. Lets hope two more good rounds and win no 3 is on the way

Nobody has ever disputed that he "has it" but some of us are frustrated at his seeming reluctance to use it, or at least make the most of it. Great that he is doing so this week and we all hope he can keep it up.

They showed his up and down for birdie on 17 before they finished.
Coverage was poor enough outside of the marquee groups yesterday again, If it was coming from the states Sky would be trotting out the line that it was out of their hands.

Oh and a top 5 for Shane would secure his card for next season

He has it in spades, my only worry is the short par/bogey putts when the pressure is on. His pitching is up there with the best, the stroke is unreal.

soundsham

Great par to start
2 shot lead now as Thomas had a 6
Nailed it over the pin on 2

Slicemeister

Liking his body language even though that was a missed birdie opportunity there.

Wish fellas would stop stirring it, post once in a blue moon just to say I told you so. Childish carry on.

Encouraging stuff so far, great to see.

I fear Donald at two back Bjorn will also be there or thereabouts.

Look I'd take a top 5 finish for Lowry, would be a great payday.

Let's hope he stays in there on moving day.

Given the level he's been operating at for the year huge turn in form to be in this position. Salt of the earth young man who deserves all the accolades he's
given.

If he could hold onto third spot today it would be a great result for him. Pity about that short missed birdie putt on the 18th yesterday, but his short game seems to be in great shape.

Steven81

Eagle at 4th now on 11 under. Go on Shane

dar_cool

Boom another birdie, come on!!

Bjorn feeling the pressure now, follows his bogey by burying it in a fairway bunker in the next...

Bjorn lying 4, short sided in a green side bunker!

soundsham

Going to be a super finish
Hope shane and Rory finish 1 & 2

Bluefoam

Hope Rory doesn't get in the way of Shane making a good finish

Benny Cake

Back to back birds!

soundsham

Crate loads of bottle there for the up and down birdie

abff

Unlucky to find a bush there. Double bogey to fall back into a tie for first.

slave1

Great comeback with that bird on the following hole, c'mon Shane.
This is some viewing...

Felexicon

This is enjoyable to watch. Hope Shane hangs on to win it

basillarkin

Rory's to lose now unless Shane can hold his birdie putt on 17

basillarkin

Very poor putt

SnowDrifts

What a putt to finish!!! Fantastic golf! All positives to take away from this week for Shane. Was fighting at the top the whole weekend and nearly finished there. Onwards and upwards.

slave1

Just brilliant, that putt was worth some lolly, great finish Shane, that's the card secured now so relax and look forward to some good tournaments

As Rory is already in the US Open does the spot go to Shane ?
