Should Shane Lowry receive a punishment for his awful comments at the Irish Open?

Lowry suggested volunteers standing in the rough on 18 'deserved to get hit'...

terrycommane2w ago

Get over it get on with the game

conobrien152w ago

He did shout 4. I saw it as a stupid joke no more no less. Clarification perhaps required, punishment no

kyle.archer3w ago

Shane Lowry should be made to be a volunteer for multiple junior tournaments.

matthew.johns3w ago

Not a good look at all, even if he didn’t mean it literally…

knightinwhitesatin3w ago

Yes he should tournament players are just guests at these courses and spectators pay good money to see them smacks of Colin Montgomerie's attitude to spectators and not the most pleasant of men either

knightinwhitesatin3w ago

These top golfers should remember they are just guests at each club these tournaments are played at as seldom are they members at them and where has course etiquette ever stated it's OK to have a go at those paying good money to watch you smacks of shades of Colin Montgomerie who treated the crowds as his enemy every time he played a bad shot

Lowry is a known hot head, but I’m sure others say worse on tour. He owes an apology but nothing more

peter.lynch3w ago

Crazy thing for Shane to say, especially on home soil. Definitely not a good look in my opinion, but don’t think it warrants a punishment

chillout3w ago

I’m sure he didn’t mean it literally.

george.patten3w ago

That’s so poor, regardless of the circumstances. If there isn’t a serious apology he should 100% receive a punishment

jordan.harris3w ago

I love Shane. He’s been my favourite player for a number of years now, but I cannot defend him over this. The only slight defence is the fact he shouted fore first but I’m struggling

chillout3w ago

I fong get this - this was just a hot mic, wasn’t it ?

walkercharlie8283w ago

We all say stupid stuff, especially when we think no one is listening. Give the man a break

antony.martin3w ago

not having that. Yeah we all say stupid stuff, but when you're at that level surely you have a responsibility to not wish harm on people watching you play?

100%, awful comment but not surprising

antonymmartin843w ago

Absolutely he does. Disgraceful from Shane. Unless I’m mistaken, I haven’t seen an apology from him yet either. When the mask slips, he is one of the least likeable players on tour 😡
