Shane Lowry said that he was aware of his reputation after taking a two-stroke penalty for a regular injury in the second round of the open. Lowry was firmly convinced that his ball was not rolling in the 12th hole during an exercise swing. Officials found that he had violated the golf rules.
Lowry was informed about a potential problem before the detailed discussion on the 15th after completing the 18th green. Lowry’s 70 became 72 and left him 10 abortions by the tournament director Scottie Scheffler, with his score changed from five to seven on the 12th.

“I was in it with the rules and didn’t argue about my case, but I am disappointed that they no longer have a camera hill,” said Lowry. “The one who was zoomed in slow motion … they try to tell me whether it is not moving from the naked eye. If she didn’t move it, it didn’t move. I told them I was definitely down to the ball when I did this exercise swing and I did not see it moving.
“But I had to take the penalty. I am still not sure to be honest, whether it was or not, but I had to take the penalty because I didn’t talk or thrown around my name and I just keep going. It is obviously very disappointing. I felt that I played very, really well today. It is difficult to take.”
Lowry said of the scene after the round: “I think they had made their decision. If the ball had moved and moved it and moved it, it is a two-shot elf. The last thing I want to do is to sit and argue there and not to take the penalty, and then you have all the social media on the entire social media.”
