Pádraig Harrington’s stress advice for Shane Lowry

Pádraig Harrington believes Shane Lowry must stay true to himself despite the golfer’s brush with PGA Tour officials over his televised f-bomb at last week’s Honda Classic.

Lowry picked up a fine from the Tour and was warned to clean up his act after uttering an expletive which was picked up by microphones when he sent his ball into the water at the Florida tournament.

The WGC-Bridgestone Invitiational champion from Offaly accepted his punishment but insisted his passionate competitive spirit was part of his make-up, something Harrington empathised with.
