Augusta, ga. – Shane Lowry, in his own words, was “very disappointed” with his ending Saturday at The National Golf Club Augusta. But his words received a more alive touch than that.
Lowry, the 2019 open champion, began the third round of masters three shocks from the superiority and found himself in the third time-last Tee, which is a good place to be in a major.
He was in an even better place through 15 holes, as he was two under the day and seven under the shift. While Lowry withdrew to par-3 16, he was only three after the leader (and good friend) Rory Mcilroy. He even almost entered the sand from sand to 16, but rather set up for a money. He was pumped because he knew it was important.
Then came the 17th. Lowry Yanked his shot in the pine, he had to lie down and then throw a 3 pedestrian he would have saved before. On the 18th, he withdrew his ball again.
“Shane, two in a row,” he missed. “What are you doing with your driver, man?”
From the pine straw he hit him in the bunker from the green side, but a weak shot from there meant two strokes and his second direct noise. He signed for an equal 72.
Collin Morikawa is right about the media. But are you missing the point of view?
Two holes before he was three of the lead. After Eagle to Mcilroy at 15 and par-par-parin of finishing, it will start on Sunday seven back mcilroy.
When Lowry met with the media afterwards, he was still upset. The first question he asked was for his conclusion.
“I felt like I left one very good day to go there to the end, so I’m definitely disappointed. But I just have to recover and rest tonight and take it tomorrow,” he said. “Late Time here on Sunday, obviously some of the leader, but, I’m in a beautiful position and things can happen here.”
But when the second question about Mcilroy, Lowry was irritated.
Did you find yourself looking back in Rory?
“No. I will not stay here and talk about Rory for 10 minutes,” he said. “I am trying to win the tournament, too. I know this is what I will want me to speak, but I just had how to finish, I have a chance to win the masters tomorrow, and I will go to hit some balls.”
While Mcilroy is, in fact, leading the tournament-and he made a crowd eagle at 15 in the post-Lowry pairing, which everyone in the area probably heard-lowry was surely worried that his media time was used to comment on his friend. Lowry and Mcilroy are teammates Ryder Cup, live close to each other in Florida (their daughters are friends), won Classic Classic together and play the Masters par-3 competition Together he was asked about Mcilroy and/or his search Grand Slam four times at his press conference in front of the tournament on Tuesday (but were not asked about Thursday, and only a briefly alluded to Mcilroy on Friday).
Lowry tried to leave the podium after answering, but he gripped and heard the next question about his herd tightening at 16.
“I just want to do as good as I can,” he said. “I hated that short kick at the 17th. The minute to get up there, it pin is just terrible. I just hit it too hard and tried to block it in the hole and then just hit two poor discs. The driver didn’t feel comfortable today. Yes, it was hard there. But it was great at the same time.
There were two questions, one about his hot start and another commenting on how 18 holes are still left. “Likes like pleasure and pain,” the reporter said.
Lowry answered this question, but finished his opinion by returning to a point Collin Morikawa recently created a conversation around.
“I liked it every day today and then hit that stroke at 17 and I couldn’t believe it,” he said. “I thought I made a great back attack and then just hit a very poor shot at 18.
“I will go and – we talk Collin Morikawa a few weeks ago. I think we need time. I think I need half an hour now to sit there and collect my thoughts. I can’t come to talk to you guys right away. Should not happen. I disagree with her. Tennis players have to talk to the media, but they have half an hour or hour before they have to do it. I feel like we should have the same thing. That’s how I feel. I will surely say something stupid. I’ve probably already said something stupid because I’m whispering now. I will just leave, ok? “
Lowry left the podium.
You can remember that Morikawa led Arnold Palmer Invitational last month with four holes to play but ended second in Russell Henley. A media request was made to talk to him was denied, and in the player championship next week he said he “owes no one” about an explanation.
Former Rocco Media tourist player criticized Morikawa on Radio Sirius XM, saying: “Your task is to tell people what happened. I don’t give up – about your morning training and all the other shit. Tell me what happened. You lost? You were beaten? That’s what happens. Guess what?

“I can bite my tongue after saying this, but for Brandel Chamblees, for Paul McGinleys, to Rocco Medias of the World, I don’t regret anything I said,” he said. “You know, it may have been a little harsh that I owe no one, but I don’t owe anyone.”
Morikawa took a similar stance when asked about it again this week. So did Mcilroy.
“Well, (Morikawa is right),” Mcilroy said on Tuesday. “Not that I think he could have formulated it a little better, but see, every other athlete, be it in NBA, NFL, they are forced to talk to you guys after a game. We are not. Whether this is something PGA Tour looks at in their rules and regulations, but as long as we have the opportunity to choose from time to time.”
