Shane Lowry’s chances of winning a second claret jug nearly went up in smoke on Saturday at Royal Troon’s par-4 11th, a hole that’s given the Irishman plenty of reason to lose his cool this week. Could say the same for the rest of the field, too. But it’s really picked on Lowry, who made Read more…
