"I am who I am and the biggest thing I can learn, as I've said, is patience." — Shane Lowry

I know some players absolutely dread an early morning start in the first round and, if you were to take a straw poll in the locker room, there's no doubt you'd find the preference among 90 per cent of the players would be for a late-early tee-time: meaning you play in the afternoon in the first round, and early the next day.

I have worked on my fitness, but people don't always see that.
