Ben Shelton didn't win on Sunday — Zverev took it in four — but if you were watching the box, you saw the real story. Bryan Shelton, Ben's dad and coach, sat through two weeks of 3 a.m. finishes, a five-set war with Alcaraz, and a final that slipped away, and never changed his face. No panic, no theatrics. Just steady, pragmatic presence. We discuss why the people around you (and the voice in your own head) matter as much as your mechanics. \nThen on to the golf recap: Shane Lowry won the Amgen Irish Open 17 years after winning it for the first time, pulling away for a seventh-career DP World Tour win in an 11-shot rout over Joaquin Niemann and Patrick Reed — including a course-record 62 at Doonbeg. Over in the Netherlands, Europe reclaimed the Solheim Cup, 15-12. On the Korn Ferry Tour, Alvaro Ortiz shot 26-under to win the Simmons Bank Open in Franklin, Tennessee, with a 61 in round two.\nAdmire & Emulate: Shane Lowry. We're choosing to sit back and “admire” Lowry's swing this week, not one to emulate — we know that muscles respond to joint positions and like a few other quirky swings that work on tour, his curved lower spine sets the tone for a lift going back, a face that opens and arms that take over coming into and through  impact…… when timing is on, he can lead by 11, but when those hands and timing is not quite on, the moving parts at times can get out of sink and cause the ball to not behave as desired….. but that is where attitude, self belief and patience step up to the plate. Sound familiar? \n\nSteady, pragmatic, no theatrics — Bryan Shelton would approve.\n\nShop the  G'day Golfers hat\n👉 Available in the SSWING Shop\nJoin the SSWING Society\nBe part of a growing community of golfers, movers and performance-minded individuals committed to mastering their game.\n📬 Join the SSWING Newsletter: www.sswing.com\nYour weekly drive — The Friday Fix — delivering golf movement,...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/09QPDgHYPamG8QI0KPG42H-L2r4xBeYj3o7JQCWPINE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iZmM3/MTYxOWQzMGFhMmFh/OGMyOGNlMmY2ZTNh/MDdlNS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
