The Outlook
I really don’t have much interest in Lowry this week. He’s been solid with the irons and off the tee, but the short game has been a disaster for months now. He’s lost strokes with the putter in nine of his past 10 starts, and that’s kept him out of the top 10 in every tournament on the PGA Tour this season. He’s good enough to make a cut, but I don’t see much else here.
