As Aronimink Golf Club bared its teeth in ferocious fashion on Friday morning, Shane Lowry was bitten harder than most.

The Offaly man, who’d fired a hugely impressive opening 68 at the PGA Championship, dropped two shots early in his round but then suffered a horror before the turn on the par-3 17th, his eighth hole of the day.
