Lowry proved that he has the ability to step up on the biggest of occasions last year at the Ryder Cup, with the Irishman holing the putt that ensured that Europe would be taking the trophy home with them. However, his temperament in individual events has been under the microscope this year, particularly after he collapsed over the final few holes at the Cognizant Classic.
He also failed to win the Dubai Invitational when he had the tournament within his grasp. Shane Lowry backed for more major success He subsequently missed the cut at both the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players Championship. And for the second year running, Lowry failed to break 80 on Sunday at The Masters .
He had started the final day just two shots behind leaders Rory McIlroy and Cameron Young . The 39-year-old has not registered a top five in the majors since The Masters in 2022. Nevertheless, speaking on Sky Sports , Dame Laura Davies suggested that the 2019 Open Championship winner – who was one shot off the lead after the opening round of the PGA Championship – still has the tools to win one of the four biggest events of the year.

He has to get over the little hump of not winning from very strong winning positions, so he will have to get over that hump and post a number maybe the leaders can’t get to at some point,” she said. “It could be this week.
Who knows? He could get the job done, but this job is very difficult. Scottie Scheffler makes it look too easy, it really is not.
