What has happened Lowry this season? In three of the Majors he produced creditable performances and top-20 finishes, but he managed only one top 10 on the regular tour – at the Honda Classic, way back in February.
Whatever you might feel about the ticker tape of numbers rolled out in professional golf, they are bound to have consequences. The European Team for the Ryder Cup will be announced in three weeks’ time and Lowry is not among the six automatic qualifiers. On the Ryder Cup website, four players are named as being “on the bubble” but there is no sign of Lowry on that list either.
Pádraig Harrington’s picks were Lowry, Sergio Garcia and Ian Poulter. The player squeezed out was Justin Rose. Even though Europe were beaten by a record margin at Whistling Straits, Lowry was one of the few European players to emerge with some credit. More than that, he was intoxicated by the whole thing.
Lowry changed to a shorter putter without any bounce. His numbers were still destructive; in putts per round he was ranked 111th; in putts inside ten feet he was 166th. The putter was killing him.
