Shane Lowry slumps in Official World Golf Ranking after two missed cuts in last five tournaments on tour
@Source: thesun.ie
SHANE LOWRY has dropped down the OWGR ladder after a disappointing third major of the season. The Offaly ace missed the cut at the brutally tough Oakmont US Open venue last weekend. It was the Irishman's second missed cut in his last five tournaments played on the 2025 season. And he was left frustrated after the season's third major in Pittsburgh. The Clara star has had his best season to date on the PGA Tour but he's endured a difficult time at the majors - with two missed cuts and a 42nd place at The Masters. 37-year-old Lowry's career-high of 10th position on the OWGR came just last month after his T2 finish at Sunday’s Signature Truist Championship. He's now down four places after the US Open test at Oakmont, where he finished +17 after 36 holes - having started the week at number twelve on the world ranking table. But he'll have the chance to one again rise up into the top-10 as the PGA Tour's 'Signature' Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands gets underway in Cromwell, Connecticut this week. Lowry finished T9 at the venue after last year's event, he gets his tournament under alongside Denny McCarthy at 6:05pm Irish local time on Thursday. The 2025 Travelers Championship is the last signature event of 2025, and there's no shortage of star power. Scottie Scheffler is the defending champion - and favourite - while Rory McIlroy has drifted with the bookies after some poor performances since his Masters win. The Travelers purse is $20 million, with $3.6 million going to the winner in addition to 700 FedEx Cup points. No, there is not a cut at the Travelers Championship. All 72 players will play all four rounds. All the action will be live on Sky Sports from Thursday afternoon.
