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 Irishman was the clubhouse leader last night after he backed up his opening round 66 with a 69 to go to seven under.
Now the 2019 Claret Jug winner heads into the weekend right on track for a second Open victory.
But it could have all 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 left out of the rough and into trouble which put the broadcast man in the firing line of a verbal volley.
“As I was over the ball I could just see you putting your camera up,” Lowry said in anger. “Just get back there. F*** sake.”
Lowry was more philosophical in his post-round press conference about the incident.
“Just there was a cameraman there and he was walking up and I asked him to stop or move back and he just kind of stayed there,” he said.
