‘Blasphemy’: Shane Lowry stunned by reporter’s Oasis revelation

European Tour golfer Shane Lowry has labeled a revelation by a Sky Sports reporter as “blasphemy”, after the broadcast journalist strangely admitted to never hearing of legendary rock band, Oasis.

While speaking with Lowry on the eve of the DP World Tour Championship, Sky Sports reporter Tim Barter was asked about the lyrical content used by Lowry in his recent collaboration with podcaster Brian ‘Home of the Golf’ Mullane on the ‘Just a Couple of Golfers’ ballad.

The lyrics, which were often inspired by Oasis songs, forced Barter to admit that he had never heard of the hugely successful British band.

Lowry, clearly stunned by the admission, was left to conclude the interview with a look of utter disbelief.

Why tee height might decide the 2024 Open Championship winner

Why tee height might decide the 2024 Open Championship winner

Tee height will be a key factor in determining the winner of the 2024 Open Championship. The R&A have announced that the tees at Royal Portrush will be raised for the tournament, which could make it more difficult for players to score.

The change in tee height is designed to make the course more challenging and to prevent players from hitting the ball too far. The R&A believe that this will lead to a more exciting and competitive tournament.

However, some players are concerned that the raised tees will make the course too difficult. They argue that it will make it harder to hit the ball close to the hole, and that it will lead to more bogeys and double bogeys.

The debate over tee height is likely to continue in the lead-up to the 2024 Open Championship. The R&A will be hoping that the changes they have made will lead to a more exciting and challenging tournament, but some players will be hoping that the tees are not raised too high.

England’s Brown takes Open lead in major debut

England’s Connor Brown took a one-stroke lead in the Open at Royal Portrush after a stunning first round.

The 23-year-old, who is making his major debut, carded a six-under-par 65 to leave him one ahead of American Xander Schauffele.

Brown birdied the third, fifth, ninth, 10th, 12th and 16th holes and is the youngest player to lead The Open after the first round since Rory McIlroy in 2010.

Schauffele, the world number 10, matched Brown’s score with six birdies of his own, but he also dropped a shot on the 18th.

Shane Lowry, who is seeking to become the first Irish winner of the Open since 1947, is among a group of eight players tied for third on four under par.

Shane Lowry’s advice for pro-am partners is good for every golfer

Northern Ireland golfer Shane Lowry, the reigning Open champion, said it is important for “pro-am partners to be prepared and ensure they can hit it far enough.” “It is very hard to play good golf when you are only hitting it short distances, but they should also know their limitations.” Other advice includes wearing comfortable shoes, playing to their handicap, and not being afraid to ask for help from the pro. Lowry said: “Everybody wants to have a good time at a pro-am and play well. A lot of partners I play with are nervous and tense, and the most help I can give them is to try and make them comfortable, and that helps them to relax, which allows them to enjoy it more and probably play better.”
