Power says he made plenty of birdies in Irish Open but also too many mistakes
Lowry to play BMW PGA, Spanish Open and Dunhill Links in stretch of tournaments that will test body and mindNo rest for the wicked and all that. For Shane Lowry a redeye flight to London will see one week roll into another as he moves on to this week’s DP World Tour stop, a favoured haunt admittedly, for the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.
At least there would be a high level of preparatory work in the days ahead of the BMW as he knows the West Course at Wentworth like the back of his hand. “I’m looking forward to going. I will try and rest as much as I can the next few days, play the pro-am and then go play because I’m certainly not under-golfed at the minute,” he said.
“I would have liked one or two birdies coming in. To play the last six holes in one over was pretty disappointing because the competitor in you is thinking if you can make a run and finish five or six under you’d never know. I bogeyed 13, that was disappointing. Power finished with a 71 for 285 in tied 26th: “I made plenty of birdies. I just had a few too many mistakes. That’s going to be links golf sometimes. I didn’t get a couple breaks here and there and made a couple of mistakes.”
