Shane Lowry blames mental errors for second-round slide

"I am still in a decent spot for the weekend depending on what the leaders do."

Ireland's Shane Lowry blamed mental errors for a second round of 76 which dropped him down the leaderboard on a testing second day of the Masters.

Lowry carded three birdies, five bogeys and a double bogey on the 12th for a halfway total of 144, although that was still good enough for a share of ninth as play began to draw to a close on Friday.
