'The hardest part to take is I was very close. It might not look like that with the result, but I felt like it'

Shane Lowry cut a frustrated figure after a tied-16th finish at the Masters.

Gavin Cooney reports from Augusta National Golf Club SHANE LOWRY CUT a frustrated figure after he squandered what he felt was a chance to compete in the final round of the Masters, closing with a bogey on 14 and a double-bogey on 15 for a final-round 73.

Birdies on 9 and 11 stirred faint hopes of something special, but all was extinguished on the par-five 15th. His second shot felt fatefully short of the green and the ball rolled painfully into the water. Deflated, he took a seven. “Four-under the first day should have been better, level the second day should have been better, one-over yesterday should have been better. It’s kind of like I was very close to doing something very special this week, and that’s the hardest thing to take. That’s the hardest part for me. If I’d have went out and shot four-under today to finish 18, I’d probably be standing here chuffed with myself. But the hardest part for me to take is I was very close.
