TROON, Scotland – Shane Lowry’s lead during the 152nd British Open took a hit due to a bad shot and a ruling that didn’t go his way on the 11th hole at Royal Troon Golf Club during the second round on Friday. It resulted in a double bogey but Lowry managed birdies on two of his final three holes to card 2-under 69 in breezy conditions and improve to 7-under 135.
