Downbeat Shane Lowry to move family to US next year

Shane Lowry plans to move his family to the US next year as he attempts to halt his worrying slide down the world rankings after two frustrating years on the PGA Tour.

The 30-year-old Offaly ace, 30, has quietly slithered from 18th in the world two years ago to 83rd this week and he confessed that trying to play on both sides of the pond has been his “downfall.”

Admitting that he was totally “disheartened” by the game after missing the cut in The Open and the RBC Canadian Open in his last two starts, he believes moving to Florida next year will make it easier to compete.
