SHANE LOWRY lost his cool with a cameraman but managed to calm down to ensure his Open hopes did not blow up as the winds whipped around Royal Troon.
The 37-year-old Irishman led the way after backing up his first-round 66 with a 69 to go seven under overall.
Now the 2019 Claret Jug winner heads into the weekend on track for a second victory in golf's oldest Major.
But it could all have gone off the rails on the 11th - The Railway hole - when he launched a foul-mouthed tirade at a cameraman after a mishit shot found the bushes.
Lowry flew his second out of the rough into more trouble, which put the snapper in the firing line of a verbal volley.
"As I was over the ball I could just see you putting your camera up," he said furiously. "Just get back there. F*** sake." Lowry was more philosophical in his post-round press conference.
