Lowry going home alone

SHANE LOWRY’S US Open debut came to a disappointing end at Congressional Country Club last night but defending champion Graeme McDowell and Pádraig Harrington will play over the weekend.

Both Harrington and McDowell will start the third round at two over par, 14 shots behind halfway leader Rory McIlroy, after a second-round 73 and 74 respectively.

Lowry fared less well.
