Shane Lowry laments not taking a step back

“I was probably a bit hard on myself right then, coming in as well. I think if I had just relaxed a little bit more, I could have done something a bit better."

Nothing warps time and space like the crushing Sunday afternoon pressure of a major.

Just ask Shane Lowry, who focused little on the rules rumpus involving the USGA and Dustin Johnson and instead gave a frank and honest assessment of his performance in the US Open at Oakmont Country Club on Sunday and how he lost a four-stroke lead to finish three shots behind eventual winner Dustin Johnson.
