And that’s why the range can be dangerous place at times as well,” Lowry stated. “Because you stand here like and let’s say I stand there with a 3-iron and I, I hit it on it misses my target by like 10 yards, on the range that doesn’t look like a good shot. But on the golf course it’s a good shot when you’re playing a tournament.”

Lowry stated it’s straightforward to get too exact on the range when you might have a a lot bigger margin for error actually.

And it’s nearly like the different approach round is when issues aren’t feeling that nice, it form of focuses in additional to exit and simply try to shoot the greatest rating you can.
