Shane Lowry Slips Slightly In Latest Golf World Rankings

A couple of players who finished well last weekend have leapfrogged him.

Shane Lowry has slipped a further two places in the latest golf world rankings. 

The Offaly man is 41st in the standings, down from 39th. It's a slide of eight from his peak position of 33rd at the end of 2020. 

He has played 54 events in that time and will maintain his qualification for the major championships outside of his Open Championship exemption should he stay inside the top 50. 

Seamus Power  meanwhile, is into the world's top 100 golfers for the first time. 

The Waterford native is ranked at 100th after the Shriners Children's Open, which finished yesterday. 

His 14-under total was enough for a tie of 21st. 

That's a remarkable rise of 329 places from his 429th position in January.

Elsewhere Rory McIlroy lies 14th. That is up a place from the last rankings update but down 10 from where he began 2021.
