TROON, Scotland — Shane Lowry found himself in a familiar position in the British Open, even if it required a detour that could have rattled him on a wild day Friday at Royal Troon.
“Look, I'm going to have a very late tee time tomorrow. I’m not going to be playing for another 24 hours. I know what that’s about," Lowry said."I know tomorrow is going to be a long day, but I’ve done it before. Robert MacIntyre had an even tougher start. Scotland's biggest star after winning his national Open last week, MacIntyre was stuck in pot bunkers and high grass. He was 8 over for his round through four holes — four holes! — and then put together a big fight on the back nine in a bid to make the weekend.
Masters champion Scottie Scheffler missed all that calamity. He put together another steady round of 70 — three birdies, two bogeys and the rest pars — and joined the group at 2-under 140. He was five shots behind Lowry as he chases his second major of the year.
