Shane Lowry’s hope of improving on his third-place standing on a “gettable” morning at the Players Championship faded with a performance he called “very average.” 

“You need to hit the ball in the fairways and I drove the ball poorly I thought, my iron play wasn’t very good at all and I missed a few putts – so pretty much just everything was very average today,” said Lowry after his second-round 74 left him 2-under par through 36 holes and outside the top 20.
