Shane Lowry was penalized two strokes at the Open Championship following a video review that suggested his ball moved during a practice swing on the 12th hole. The penalty changed his score from 1-under 69 to 1-over 71, leaving him at even par for the tournament. Lowry expressed disappointment, feeling that he played well despite the ruling. He was unaware of the potential issue until informed by a rules official. After discussions regarding the decision, he voiced concerns about the lack of camera angles for a clearer review.
Lowry stated, "It's obviously very disappointing. I felt like I played really, really well today. And yeah, that's hard to take."
While addressing the ruling, Lowry mentioned, "I asked him, 'How many shots penalty is that if it did?' and he said, 'Two.'"
Lowry expressed his dissatisfaction, saying, "I'm disappointed that they don't have more camera angles on it. [...] I told them I definitely was looking down towards the ball as I was taking that practice swing, and I didn't see it move."
Lowry noted, "I had to take it ... I wasn't arguing my case, but I'm disappointed that they don't have more camera angles on it."
