Shane Lowry’s wild Thursday ride left him frustrated after a 1-over opening round at the Masters that he said was the worst he could have done considering.

Lowry erased a slow start to his seventh Masters with an eagle-birdie combination on Nos. 13 and 14 to get into the red for the first time, only to give it back with a sloppy double bogey after laying up on the par-5 15th. He settled for a 1-over 73.
