In-form Shane Lowry shakes off 'hurt' of Truist loss
Shane Lowry is satisfied he has shaken off the "hurt" of last Sunday's near miss at the Truist Championship and determined to keep giving himself chances to win until the door opens "eventually." Lowry, without a win on his own on the PGA Tour since the 2019 Open Championship, was involved in a two-way battle with Ryder Cup team-mate Sepp Straka on Sunday, with a dropped stroke on the 16th and three-putt bogey on the final hole costing him another victory. He departed the Philadelphia Cricket Club without talking to the media but three days later, on the eve of the year's second major, Lowry is in more philosophical mood, inclined to talk up his recent form. On Monday - when the players arriving at Quail Hollow sat idle due to inclement weather in the area - the world rankings revealed that Lowry had cracked the top 10 for the first time in his career. Even if the US media only want to hear about the win tally. "Sunday hurt a bit. I felt like I probably could have won that tournament," Lowry told RTÉ Sport's Greg Allen on Wednesday. "I should have won that tournament. "And it's hard to win out here. So when you give yourself chances like that, it stings, you know. "I feel there has been a few disappointments this year. Sometimes you feel like golf keeps kicking you and kicking you. But you have to be patient and you have to wait for the good days to come. So hopefully, one of them is not too far away. "I was conscious coming into a big week like this, you can get a couple of days when you're not feeling great about yourself because of something like that. "It was actually nice that it was a forced day off on Monday with the weather. Allowed myself not to do much. Practice has been going pretty well the last couple of days. "You just keep knocking on the door. It's all you can do. I was asked about it a lot last week, having not won in a while - they love talking about it over here..." Lowry did win last year at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans though that was in a team event alongside Rory McIlroy. His last individual win saw him pip Mcilroy in the DP World Tour's PGA Championship at Wentworth in 2022, won in memorable fashion with a 65 on the Sunday. Since then there have been a fair few near misses, and he was in contention at two majors in 2024, at one stage holding a three-stroke lead at the Open Championship at Royal Troon. But on each occasion, things got away from him on the final day. Lowry stresses his game has ascended to an even better place since that win three years ago at Wentworth but no (individual) wins have arrived. "Since the Ryder Cup in 2023, my game has been in a really good place. I've had some great results, played some great golf. I've been pretty happy. I have worked hard and I'm getting some rewards. "It's hard to win out here. The standard's good. A couple of things go your way on Sunday and it could be a lot different. It hasn't been that way for me. But we could be talking about worse things. Giving myself chances is a great thing, it's a great place to be." Twelve months ago, Lowry had a putt for a historic 61 on the third round at Valhalla. His past record around Quail Hollow suggests that similar heroics are unlikely this year. The North Carolina course, hosting the US PGA Championship for the second time after Justin Thomas - another in-form player - won there in 2017, has received a cool reception in some quarters. Hunter Mahan this week compared it to a Kardashian, saying it was "beautiful" but lacking "soul or character", while Lucas Glover sniffliy remarked that all the players will be hitting the ball "to the same place." While McIlroy is famously at home around this year's US PGA Championship venue, with four wins, the reverse is true for Lowry. "I will be completely honest with you, I wish we were at a venue that suited my game a little bit better," Lowry acknowledges. "But I do feel like if I play my best golf, I can contend. But it'll be hard. I will have to play my best golf this week, but I am actually playing some of my best golf. "I've no record around here at all. I've taken a little bit of a dive into the stats as to why that is and it's nothing to do with my tee-to-green play. It's more the rest of it. "I feel like my game is probably in better shape, especially that part of it, than it's ever been coming into this time of year. So I'll try and look at the positives and work from there. "I never dive into stats too much when I go to venues. But I wanted to try something different this week because I just have had no success here. "In and around the greens, I never have done well here. But I don't think I've ever been in this position going into this week. I don't think I've ever chipped and putted as well around this time of year. "I'll give it a run, see what happens. And if it's not this week, I'll dust myself off and I'll get ready for Memorial. And if it's not that week, I'll just keep going. I'll always try hard and work hard. And eventually, something good will happen."

Who Will Master the Mile?The PGA Championship returns to Quail Hollow where the final three holes separates contenders from champions
The 107th PGA Championship will elicit equal measures of excitement and trepidation among the field of 156 golfers. Quail Hollow is a tough course. The last time the Championship was held here, in 2017, the daunting Green Mile (holes 16 to 18) extracted 488 strokes from the field. On a course lined with narrow fairways, a plethora of sand traps, plenty of water, and treacherously fast greens, it will take some heavy lifting to hoist the 12kg Wanamaker Trophy on Sunday. Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler start 5-1 favourites, but the field is rich with contenders, setting the stage for a potential tussle. McIlroy showed that achieving the career Grand Slam at the Masters hasn't dimmed his passion or intensity. He had another solid week at the Philadelphia Cricket Club, securing an astounding 130th top-10 finish in 265 starts on the PGA Tour. The Northern Irishman has won four times at Quail Hollow, prompting Jordan Spieth to call the site Rory McIlroy Country Club! At 102-under par on this course, McIlroy's record is 55 strokes better than his best competitor. Quail Hollow has transformed into an overseeded Ryegrass rough, adjusting for the spring start. The Poa Trivialis greens are a grainy test for even the best putters. Unlike the Masters, where the leaders gain 90 to 95% of their strokes tee to green, the course in Charlotte demands a putting masterclass. The winner this week is likely to gain a third of their strokes on the continues to draw exclamation marks with his remarkable consistency. His symphony reached a crescendo at the Byron Nelson, where he won by a staggering eight strokes. A year since his arrest in Valhalla, Scheffler will be eager to shine the light on his on-course work this week. Fresh off a top 10 at the Masters, the world No. 1 will look to produce a big Sunday in Charlotte. But the main cast won't carry the full narrative of this Championship. The majors need no additional glorification, but the rupture at golf's elite level has added new layers of intrigue. As LIV golf continues to aspire for longevity, even willing to adapt to secure world ranking points, its players bring a distinct motivation to thrive on the biggest stages of the sport. There are fifteen LIV golfers in the field this week, including major champions Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, Phil Mickelson, Patrick Reed, Sergio Garcia, Jon Rahm, and Cameron Smith. Each of them will be hungry to prove they can still beat the though Rahm and Smith have struggled recently to play at their best, DeChambeau seems to have discovered a new gear, both on and off the course. Over the past two years, the eccentric American has flipped the script, turning from an isolated genius to an affable artist. He is constantly in contention at the majors, and his victory in Korea should give his hopes a boost after the irons wilted in the Sunday heat at the has been driving great, gaining 2.53 strokes this season, second only to Scheffler who stands tall with a moving average of 3.23 according to data golf metrics. A 64 last year at Valhalla saw him soar into second place in the PGA Championship, weeks ahead of a exhilarating US Open victory over McIlroy. The 2017 Champion Justin Thomas seems to be returning to form at just the right time. Victory at the RBC Heritage ended a lengthy drought, securing him a first title since his second PGA Championship in 2022. Thomas has finished inside the top 10 six times this year, and memories of his maiden major at these grounds should give him all the energy needed to contend again this week.

With an annual PGA Tour event on the course, most of the field besides the 20 Club Professionals have experience playing at Quail Hollow. In a unique test of all round accuracy, even a high level of greens in regulation does not guarantee a favourable scoring outcome. The Stimpmeter reads upwards of 12, and the racy greens will test even the most patient golfer.

Xander Schauffele was the last first-time major winner, when he edged past DeChambeau at Valhalla last year.
