Shane Lowry was given a two-stroke penalty after the second round of the Open Championship at Royal Portrush Golf Club on Friday. Lowry was determined to have caused his ball to move while taking a practice swing in the rough ahead of his second shot on the par-5 12th hole.

Shane Lowry was not at all happy with the judges' decision to award him a two-stroke penalty during the second round of the Open Championship.

Shane Lowry won The Open the last time it was at Royal Portrush, but a controversy over his ball moving on a practice swing might make his return for the 2025 British Open one to forget.
