Shane Lowry is a two-time PGA Tour winner; he has won the European Tour three times; he was the Golf Champion of the Year in 2019, winning the British Open in his home country; and last July, Lowry represented Ireland at the 2020 Olympic Games. But now he may make his debut in the European Ryder Cup team for the first time.
He discovered this position after one of his years on the PGA Tour. He finished in the top 10 most sensitive on some of the biggest occasions of the year, adding the Players, Memorial and PGA Championship. But at this week’s BMW PGA Championship, you still want some things to automatically qualify.
The European team is through several lists of problems, the first being the European Tour points list, then the global points lists. Four players are automatically ranked according to the European Tour roster and another five from the global roster. As things stand, Lowry is in ninth place. and last place in automatic classification.
If Bernd Wiesberger finishes in the top 50 most sensitive in the BMW PGA, he will move to fourth on the European Tour’s list of problems, ousting Rory McIlroy. McIlroy will then enter the list of global issues, Lowry from his automatic sorting spot. Lowry will want a more sensible or better ending in the 8.
After the 3rd BMW PGA Championship, Lowry and Bernd Wiesberger are 11 less, tied for 7th position and 4 strokes behind leader Francesco Laporta.
The Irishman followed the trend of the past two days at Wentworth Golf Club in Surrey, England, as he made birdies at No. 2, No. 4, No. 8 and No. 18 while conceding his only chance at No. 15.
But Lowry wasn’t the target of the Ryder Cup after his turn:

“Can I say one thing? May for Sam. “

Regardless of what happens with automatic qualifying, Lowry is a forged bet to constitute the European team, he has been one of the most consistent players of the season, reaching the cup 19 times on 21 occasions on the Tour, which will leave captain Harrington with a difficult resolution to leave the veterans of the Ryder Cup. Some of the names the team could lose: Sergio Garcia, Henrik Stenson, Ian Poulter.
