Shane Lowry's worrying slump continues at BMW Championship as Bethpage Black Ryder Cup looms large
Irish ace slides out of automatic qualifying spots after string of poor finishes as outsiders push for shock call-up SHANE LOWRY'S recent slump in form has come at a concerning time for the Irishman. Lowry, who is currently in action at the FedEx Cup penultimate tournament at the BMW Championship hasn't found a top-40 finish in his last four events. 2 Shane Lowry has failed to crack a top 40 spot in his last 4 events prior to this week's BMW 2 Luke Donald could be concerned with the Irishman's slump in form Advertisement The world number 20 is currently T32 of 48 as he negotiates his final round at Caves Valley in Maryland. Clara native Lowry's dip has also seen him plummet ten places in the Official World Golf Ranking. Last week at the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis, Lowry's form took another nosedive - he slumped to 59th, dropping from fifth to seventh in the Ryder Cup rankings. His finish in Tennessee followed a T40 at The Open, T45 at the Travelers and a missed cut at the US Open. Advertisement And Ryder Cup skipper Luke Donald will be alarmed by the lack of form as the 2019 Open winner slipped out of the automatic qualifying places for the Bethpage Black showdown next month. 38-year-old Lowry will be expected by many to earn another captain's selection from the Englishman. But it many not be nailed on, as a number of European 'outsiders' have found form - especially Harry Hall - who Rory McIlroy hinted could be a shock inclusion. The English golfer has six top 20s in his last ten tournaments and showed real consistency since his maiden win on the PGA Tour at last year's ISCO Championship. Advertisement Lowry's stunning early season form will see him into next week's Tour Championship at East Lake - where only the top 30 will compete for the revamped end-of-season decider. Ireland's Lowry will be hoping for a better showing in Georgia as he targeted the Ryder Cup as his number one goal for the season. The top six players in the rankings after the Betfred British Masters, hosted by Nick Faldo on Sunday, 24 August, will secure automatic qualification, with three spots already locked in. Captain Luke Donald will then confirm his six wildcard selections for the Ryder Cup during the week beginning Monday, 1 September.

Evan Ferguson's new boss closes in on stat held by a former Ireland manager
Gian Piero Gasperini will hit a major milestone next week when he takes charge of Roma for the first time in their season opener against Bologna. For the former Atalanta manager, who green-lit the swoop for Ireland striker Evan Ferguson this summer, it will be his 600th game in charge in Serie A - a figure that only four men have previously hit. One of those is former Ireland boss Giovanni Trapattoni, who can boast a massive 689 games as a manager in the Italian top-flight. Trapattoni took charge of Milan, Juventus, Inter Milan, Cagliari and Fiorentina during a career that also saw him manage in Germany with Bayern Munich and VfB Stuttgart, Portugal with Benfica, and Austria with Red Bull Salzburg. It was during his time in Salzburg that he was approached by the FAI to manage Ireland, a role that he held from 2008 to 2013, and included qualification to Euro 2012. Gasperini's career in the dugout began in the underage ranks at Juventus. His first senior role came in 2003 with Crotone in Serie C1. He moved to Serie A in 2006 when he was appointed Genoa boss, and he went on to manage Inter Milan, Palermo, Genoa again, Atalanta and now Roma. At Atalanta he won the 2023/24 Europa League in Dublin, beating Bayer Leverkusen. Other managers to pass the 600-mark are Carlo Mazzone (792), Nereo Rocco (747) and Nils Liedholm (635). Gasperini gave Ferguson, a loan signing from Brighton, another pre-season run-out on Saturday in Roma's 2-2 draw with Saudi side Neom. Ferguson played the first-half before being replaced at the break by Artem Dovbyk. His managerial style is widely expected to bring the best out of the Irish youngster, as he favours a pressing game and has already spoken positively about Ferguson's abilities in that regard. And recently, former Ireland striker Clinton Morrison gave his verdict on the influence Gasperini could have on the 20-year-old. 'It's geared up for him. Gasperini is a top manager,' said Morrison. 'Look at what he did at Atalanta. Just look at (Ademola) Lookman, Gasparini took his game to another level. Now every big club wants Lookman. 'Roma have gained a fantastic manager, and Atalanta have lost one. Ferguson will come on leaps and bounds under him. 'When you have a manager making those kinds of quotes about you as a striker - which I was - it gives you confidence. 'That's what Ferguson needs; an arm around the shoulder, a bit of love, and he'll score goals. Most strikers need that.'
