“That sucks” – Fans react to Shane Lowry’s ‘sloppy’ mistake ahead of his US Open exit

Fans reacted to Shane Lowry's mistake in the second round of the US Open. He was playing at the Oakmont Country Club this week, but the golfer had an early exit since he failed to make it through the cutline, which was set at 7-over. Before exiting the tournament, the Irishman made a mistake that garnered reactions from netizens.

Lowry forgot to mark his ball on the 14th green before picking, as Fried Egg Golf’s X page shared a video of the same on X on June 14.

As the post came up, netizens started showering their remarks, and a fan called it a "sloppy" mistake:

Another fan sarcastically commented:

A golf netizen commented how he hated penalties:

“I love golf but hate the randomness of rewards and penalties at this U.S. Open. Leaderboard tells you all you need to know.”

Another netizen remarked on the look Lowry’s caddie had after the mistake. He said:

“The look he gets from his caddy is wonderful.”

An online fan shared his opinion about how Bryson DeChambeau would have tackled the situation. He penned down:

“Bryson would of act like it never happened.”

Another fan blamed the golf course for Lowry's fault. He said:

“When a golf course kicks you in the nuts, you forget about the little things.”

Last year, Lowry finished in T19 at the US Open by scoring 4-over in total after posting 1-over in the fourth round.
