Shane Lowry left frustrated as he describes 72 as ‘probably one of the worse scores I could have shot’

Photograph: Andrew Redington/Getty ImagesSéamus Power deserved a break in the first round of the US Open, and he finally got it on the 18th hole where his 59 degrees lob wedge recovery shot from thick greenside rough flew skywards and then descended to hit the flag and come to a halt four feet away.
In short, he hadn’t shot his way out of the tournament. Far from it, lying just five strokes behind first-round leader, Canada’s Adam Hadwin. Of battling the tougher afternoon conditions to eke out a score, Power remarked: “I think growing up playing a lot of links golf in tough conditions, you know par is a good score and that’s what I’ve seen so far in Majors this year and certainly in the three I’ve played it’s been that way.
Shane Lowry was rather more frustrated with his two-over 72, which he felt was “probably one of the worse scores I could have shot … I think I played good enough to shoot par or better. It was hard out there, the wind was up and the course was tough.”
