Shane Lowry: Drops to T22 at Travelers

Rotowire ·

Lowry posted an even-par 70 in the final round of the Travelers Championship to finish tied with Kristoffer Reitan and Keith Mitchell for 22nd.

Analysis:

Lowry showed steady improvement over the first three rounds of the tournament, culminating with a bogey-free, six-under 64 score Saturday. He was in the top-5 heading into Sunday and was three-under through his first 13 holes, but the Irishman crashed to outside of the top-20 after carding bogeys on the 14th, 16th and 17th holes. Lowry's late-round collapse was eerily similar to the Cognizant Classic and The Masters. He finished the Travelers T3 in GIR, fourth in driving accuracy, eighth in SG: Off-the-Tee and 11th in SG: Approach. However, he also ranked 57th out of 72 players in SG: Putting and lost 2.11 strokes in that category in the final round. Lowry has failed to crack the top-20 in each of his last 11 tournaments (including three missed cuts) and will look to turn things around in two weeks at the Genesis Scottish Open, where he finished T12 in his lone appearance at the event in 2023.
