"It was a marshal but, listen, I don’t like blaming people. I was over it the first time and he told the crowd - all 12 people that were beside the tee - to stay still. "So, I backed off and hit … an unbelievably bad shot. A bad shot would have been just right of the green where Pablo (Larrazabal) was able to putt up. It would have been easy. "I had an 8-iron in my hands on the 17th and I was licking my chops at the thoughts of giver me another birdie. I just got distracted on 17 tee and made a bad swing and hit a bad shot and ended-up making a triple bogey."Lowry's attitude to adversity is something that many of us could do with taking note of. He continued:
"I do have to look at the positives as the golf I played was more than good enough to win any tournament. "I am in a nice position going into the weekend and I know Kevin is leading at 8-under but this golf course is going to play pretty difficult over the weekend so I will just go out and keep doing what I have been doing. "I am very proud of myself as I wasn’t feeling all that great standing on the 18th tee but I hit two unbelievable shots into the last, and into about 10 feet, and while it was disappointing not to hole that birdie on the last… fairly disappointed now but I will be fine."Great attitude. The 30-year-old just needs to get off to a similarly good start, hope Kisner or co-leader Hideki Matsuyama does not shoot low and he could still be in with a chance come Sunday.
