Shane Lowry is a golfer who would certainly be an important link for the European team at the upcoming Raider Cup, and his form pleases the Europeans who believe that this team really has the prospect of achieving an important result.
However, can they really take such a big step of celebration on away soil? It has been shown in previous editions that winning on away soil is an extremely difficult task. Nevertheless, the public in Europe still shares optimism, aware that they have a great roster with even more great individuals who can do a great thing at Bethpage Black.
Shane Lowry is one of the names that is mentioned more and more every day. Although he was expected to be part of the Ryder Cup team as the sixth player, it seems that he will still have to wait for Luke Donald's decision to pick him among the sixth players who will further strengthen the team.
The Irish golfer did not know that his appearance at the Tour Championship did not earn him points. On the other hand, his European colleague, the Dane Rasmus Hojgaard, is playing at the British Masters and if he makes a big result, he will secure a place in the team.
In a media interview, Lowry shared his emotions regarding these outcomes.
"I thought I was guaranteed getting points this week," Lowry said, as quoted by Balls.
"I thought I was going to be pretty much guaranteed on the team.
I was somewhat disappointed to hear that. But the rules were made at the start for qualifying, and that was it. I think I finished four points behind Tyrrell, which is pretty much a shot, which would have been nice.
But obviously I don't know what Rasmus is going to do this weekend, but it looks like he's probably going to pass me up and I'm going to need a pick next week, so hopefully I get a nice phone call off Luke."
What will happen?
However, the public is sure that the Irish golfer will secure a place in the team. His experience and qualities will certainly be important to this team that wants to take a big step and win on away soil.
This year's Ryder Cup promises great moments, and there is no doubt that if he secures a place in the team, which he probably will, Lowry will surely attract the attention of the public at the prestigious competition.
