Good Afternoon. Today is one of the great niche holidays on the golf calendar - the Seminole Pro-Member.

Each year, the Donald Ross-designed Seminole Golf Club hosts the event, pairing its ultra high-profile membership - think very wealthy CEOs and power brokers - with pros like Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods.

For reasons still under investigation, our invitation appears to have been lost in the mail again.

Lowry Gets Bear-Trapped

Collapse of the year.

Shane Lowry stepped onto the 16th tee - the start of the Bear Trap at PGA National - on Sunday with a three-shot lead and a 96.7% chance to win.

Up ahead, Nico Echavarria rolled in what turned out to be the putt of the tournament - a 10-footer for birdie on 17 to grab the lead. He played four steady rounds, made just three bogeys all week, and yet his name won’t be the one people focus on.

Because…

Moments later, Lowry took iron off 16 and rinsed it. Then he did the same on 17.

Just like that, the Bear Trap flipped the tournament.

By the time Lowry reached the 18th tee, he was trailing by two strokes.

A brutal collapse.

Nico two-putted calmly for par, gave a small fist pump, and secured his third PGA TOUR win.

For Lowry, it’s another tough one. His fourth top-5 finish here in the last five years - including a runner-up to Sepp Straka in 2022 - but this one will sting the most.

In his career, he’s now just 1-6 in converting 54 hole leads into victories.
