Lowry immediately realized his blunder and cursed his violation of the most elementary of golf lines.

And according to the rules, he was immediately punished a point – although he could have been moored.

He complains about his blunder, albeit with a smile on his face, he said: ‘It is probably one of the stupidest things I have ever done.

“I just picked up the ball.

“I had turned the ball my hand and [caddie] Drag [Reynolds] He actually said to me, “What are you doing?”

“I put it back and marked it and played it up and I knew it would be punished.

“I didn’t know if it would be one or two.

“But yes, maybe I was just my mind somewhere else, but I fought. I still tried it.”

Another said, “Oakmont is to Lowry.”

And another said, “Not a good thing to do.”

It was noted: “Shane is not having a good time.”

Another sarcastic cut: “He has to play a little more in the PGA.”

It is probably one of the stupidest things I’ve ever done. “

Shane Lowry on his 14th green blunder

“I drove it into the game a lot yesterday, did what I had to do with the tee.

“And then I didn’t have my game that I’ve had lately.

“And then I really struggled on the greens yesterday and the round got away from me here and that was it.

‘I let it do it a bit [to me] What I said wouldn’t do it. But that is Oakmont. That is open the US. “
