Shane Lowry must learn to deal with expectations

Paul McGinley believes Shane Lowry must not get ahead of himself and learn to deal with high expectations if he’s to become a Major force and a Ryder Cup star.

The Dubliner is impressed with the way the pride of Clara has moved on from his 2009 Irish Open win as an amateur to become a World Golf Championship winner and a contender for major titles with Top 10 finishes in the Open in 2014 and the US Open last year.

But with all of Clara and Esker Hills cheering him on, as well as every other ordinary golfer in Ireland, McGinley knows that the world No 32 finds dealing with expectations to be a challenge.
