The 2019 champion had to play a ball he'd have preferred to be lost in an unusual situation Friday.
TROON, Scotland — The rail line that borders the 11th hole at Royal Troon is daunting enough for what is already the hardest hole on the course. Shane Lowry got past that part.
“I did the hard part. I hit my drive where you could find it, which is obviously a hard thing to do on that hole,” Lowry said of the tee shot that preceded all the drama.on the right just as I was over the shot, and I kind of lost a bit of train of thought. You're so afraid of going right there that I just snagged the club and went left.”
Ah, but he did. Under Rule 18.3c , if the original ball is found, it must be played as it lies. That was not possible, so Lowry needed to take a penalty. The provisional was on longer in use.
