Call it a case of Shane Lowry and his caddie mixing up their signs.
On the final hole of Saturday’s third round at the DP World Tour’s 2022 Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, Lowry lined up his drive with an HSBC sign and piped what he envisioned to be a perfect shot. Unfortunately, his caddie, Bo Martin, had Lowry aiming at a completely different sign.
The mishap put the winner of the 2019 British Open in a difficult spot.
