Irish golfer cards a 72 after returning on Saturday morning to make the cut
“That’s my least favourite shot out there,” said Lowry of the 88 yards approach to that 15th green. “I was just afraid of spinning it into the water and I hit it a bit too hard and flew the green and had a really tricky chip. I was just trying to give myself a chance for par and that came out perfect,” he added of the par save.
“I am going to need to play really and well and I am going to need some help from Brooks and Jon [Rahm] but you just never know. That is the great thing about this game, they say it starts on the back nine on Sunday. If I can get myself within a few shots of the lead going into the back nine tomorrow, you never know. Stranger things have happened,” said Lowry, hoping that the putter will warm up to at least get the chance.
Koepka had finished his work in Friday’s sunshine before the weather front hit the Augusta area, while others had to don waterproofs and shelter under umbrellas to complete their second rounds on Saturday morning, where Jon Rahm emerged as the American’s closest challenger.
