Player Overview
Shane Lowry endeared himself to the golf world with his emotional 2019 Open Championship victory at Royal Portrush in his native Ireland. The Offaly native has built a reputation as one of the best short game artists on tour, with elite touch around the greens and reliable putting that compensates for his relatively modest length off the tee. Lowry thrives in tough conditions where scrambling ability and mental toughness matter more than raw power. His experience and craftiness make him especially dangerous at courses with challenging greenside complexes. In DFS, Lowry is a classic short-game specialist play who offers strong value when priced appropriately.

Lowry tends to be underowned in most weeks, making him an excellent GPP value play in the mid-to-low salary tier.
