Shane Lowry fuelled by finish after hitting trouble but won't throw caution to the wind in the Open

Shane Lowry rescued his round by doing what only one other player managed at St Andrews yesterday - going birdie-birdie on the last two holes.

Chances galore fell the 2019 champion's way in his second round but, after the body blow of a double bogey on 16, Lowry realised he was flirting with missing the cut.

And that was after plotting his way around in 4-under par for his round and the championship to that point.
