Shane Lowry Must Start Strong At Augusta
3 years agoThere is this sense that Shane Lowry needs to get off to a hot start on Thursday at Augusta. He does not quite have the length of other golfers (300 yards a drive). Also, his driving accuracy is not the greatest. However, his 70.3% greens-in-regulation statistic is 28th. Combine that with a good scoring average that ranks fifth, and Lowry has a chance. The Irish golfer has been able to stay in the tournament the past few years because the course has not been dominated. This year could be different, though, with course conditions drying out. Lowry may have just enough length and shot-making ability to be a contender and not just a top-25 guy.
