Shane Lowry was extremely disappointed with his round of 71 at the BMW PGA Championship
is making some late-season adjustments to his swing but the old intent is very much part of his DNA; and, as England’s Matthew Baldwin kept cool and calm to claim the overnight lead in the BMW PGA Championship over the West Course at Wentworth in the Surrey stockbroker belt, the Northern Irishman made his presence felt to remain in contention.
Four of the five Irish players in the field, however, were inside the cut mark one way or the other: McIlroy , Shane Lowry , Tom McKibbin and Pádraig Harrington . Simon Thornton, however, was set to miss the weekend.Leona Maguire brings the fun back with impressive start to LPGA return “I wouldn’t have liked the week off to just wallow in self-pity and whatever else I would have been doing if I had not played. To come back out and get straight back on the golf course and play a couple of solid rounds and give myself another chance at a really big tournament that means a lot to me, I thought it was important to do that and thankfully I have.”
“Frustrating, a bad round of golf,” said Lowry, adding: “But it is what it is, you take it on the chin and you move on. I’m only seven back. It would have been nice to birdie one of the last two. We just move on, I am still in a nice position in this tournament around a golf course I love. I’ll give it a rattle this weekend.”
