The Offaly man made a flying start with three birdies in his first four holes at Laguna National but covered the next 10 in two over par before picking up shots on the 15th and 18th
Shane Lowry says he needs to control his emotions better after an opening 69 at the Porsche Singapore Classic on Thursday.
That left the former Open champion five shots off the lead shared by Thailand’s Kiradech Aphibarnrat, England’s Jordan Smith and Malaysia’s Gavin Green as he bids to secure a seventh DP World Tour title.“I got off to a great start today and I suppose I guess I just thought it was going to be easy and it kind of me bit me back in the middle of the round, but I fought well and finished well and I’m pretty happy with that,” Lowry said.
“But it bit me back and I need to be a bit more in control of my emotions tomorrow and just kind of play one hole at a time. “When you’re not doing it you start to get a little bit frustrated but I stuck with it and three under’s okay.”
