Shane Lowry was forced to drive an hour away to a shop after breaking his putter during his opening round at The CJ Cup.
The Offaly man broke his putter on the ninth hole, but it wasn't enough to hamper his round as he shot a bogey-free three-under-par round of 68 at Congaree Golf Club in South Carolina.
However, Lowry was forced to drive an hour away to Bluffton and the closest PGA Superstore after his round to pick up a replacement, a 35-inch Odyssey White Hot OG 2-ball putter, which he paid $229 for.
