Sectional qualifying is on May 25th so he'll have to provisionally enter this just in case 6 players jump him in the next 2 weeks.
Odds are in his favour.

abff · 18-05-2015 08:43AM

Shane remains at 55th in this week's rankings. Should be OK for top 60 at next week's cut off point for US Open.

Speak Now · 22-05-2015 09:26AM

Quick out of the blocks this morning, 3 birdies in first 5 holes. Back to under par for the tournament.

Great - I was getting concerned when I saw yesterday's round. Hope we see some of him on TV.

lovely - hope he can drive on from that

-4 through 11.

Great stuff from Shane today. -5 for the day now. Hopefully a good showing this week can kick start his season.

Same as last year hopefully. There's something about this place that agrees with him.

markthespark77 · 22-05-2015 11:40AM

seems to be playing v well. lovely to see that smile again after the shot out of the bunker.

slave1 · 22-05-2015 12:51PM

In with a bogey free 5 under, back into it now, nice tidy round

abff · 22-05-2015 12:53PM

Great round, but should have been even better. Narrowly missed shortish birdie putts at each of the last three holes.

vienne86 · 22-05-2015 01:48PM

Nice round from Shane, and sounds like it could have been even better. So looking good for the weekend.

Speak Now · 23-05-2015 02:31PM

Shane on the move with an eagle on 12. Still 5 behind but well it now. Currently in 7th.

Steven81 · 23-05-2015 03:32PM

T6 8 under through 17

fullstop · 23-05-2015 05:48PM

Brilliant stuff. No dropped shots in rounds 2 or 3 is very impressive.

vienne86 · 23-05-2015 06:07PM

Very nice from Shane today - 7th on his own now. Hope he continues like this tomorrow - nice cheque on the way and will help his ranking hopefully.

vienne86 · 24-05-2015 04:43PM

And another bogey free round from Shane today - 3 under. Nice cheque coming up.

Black Menorca · 24-05-2015 04:55PM

Well done Shane. Very impressive performance.

Looks like it's around €140k for Shane. Anyone know what it'll do for his world ranking? Is he already qualified for US open?

It should solidify his position inside the top 60 which is all he needs for the US Open. He might even scrape back into the top 50, the BMW PGA has big OWGR points because it's the European Tour's flagship event.

F. Molinari is still playing the last, if he gets par or better Shane will be T6 with one other (Fleetwood) which will mean a pay cheque of €162,500.

coylemj · 24-05-2015 05:25PM

Update on the US Open exemption - top 60 either tomorrow (May 25) or June 15 so as of tomorrow he will be exempt as he's ranked 55 and will go up a few notches on Monday's list.

Nosferatu on Twitter says Shane will be ranked 50th tomorrow https://twitter.com/VC606

Was he not exempt from his Top 10 finish last year anyhow?

???

He didn't have a top 10 last year.

slave1 · 24-05-2015 06:04PM

Brainfart, only saw Open, assumed The Open in my head, never noticed the US bit

vienne86 · 24-05-2015 08:02PM

Got €162.5K for his tied 6th. And a nice boost to his ranking. Pity about the first round, but it has been a good week for Shane.

Looks like Shane might go up to 48th in the world rankings, depending on final results in the Crowne Plaza. Funnily enough, he moves ahead of Tommy Fleetwood, even though he's behind him in this week's rankings and they finished on the same score this week. It's because the tournament that drops out of the reckoning for Tommy this week is the Johnnie Walker Championship that he won in August 2013.

Ben Martin and Brendon Todd picked up enough world ranking points in the Crowne Plaza to stay marginally ahead of Shane in the rankings. Still, he's back in the top 50.

I see Jiménez is up to 44th. Amazing for a 51 year old.
