“It’s just hard. It’s hard to pick a wind and it’d be hard to get it right playing around a normal golf course, but you’re playing around Augusta National, where you have to be so precise, as well. You’re trying to pitch the ball; you don’t have much to pitch the ball in. You can be made to look like an idiot out there today by not doing too much wrong. I’m not overly happy with my two days’ work, but I’m here for the weekend, and I’ll give it a run,” said Lowry.

Lowry, to his credit, hung tough. When he hit his tee-shot to the angelic if deceptive par 3 12th to a back bunker and failed to save par, the Offalyman slipped to four over for the tournament and, at that time, outside the cutline. He didn’t drop another shot.
