Shane Lowry wants it so much. That could be the problem. The Irish golfer was left bitterly disappointed after he shot level par 71 at Le Golf National in the opening round of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Lowry was one-under as he headed for the 18th only for a weather delay to force him indoors. He eventually remerged and closed out with a bogey to head for the clubhouse severely frustrated.
