Shane Lowry in explosive X-rated rant at The Open camera man after landing shot in the rough
The Open Championship witnessed an unexpected drama as Irish golfer Shane Lowry found himself entangled in a heated confrontation with a cameraman, following a critical error that threatened his lead.
Lowry, leading by two strokes as he approached the 11th hole in the second round at Royal Troon, faced a significant setback when his tee shot veered left into the thick brush. The ball went missing for approximately 20 minutes before being located, but the damage was done—he could only manage a double bogey, allowing Englishman Dan Brown to catch up and share the lead going into the 12th hole.
The tension was palpable as Lowry, visibly frustrated by the mishap, lashed out at a nearby cameraman. Captured on a hot mic, his expletive-laden tirade revealed his annoyance: “As I was over the ball, I could just see you putting your f****** camera up. Just get out of the way. Just get back there. F*** sake!”
Despite this fiery exchange, world No. 33 Lowry remains tied for the lead. The incident has added an unexpected layer of intensity to an already thrilling tournament, showcasing the high stakes and emotional rollercoaster of professional golf.
