Shane Lowry has reacted to missing the cut at this weeks US Open Championship at Brookline Country Club in Boston Massachusetts.

Lowry has been in fine form this season, carding four top-10 finishes and top three results at The Masters, The Honda Classic and the RBC heritage. However, the Offaly man endured a couple of disappointing rounds this week, shooting a pair of 72's to finish four over par, missing the cut by a single stroke.

However, the Irishman, has been left upset by a decision made by the US Golf Association (USGA) in the middle of the second round. Lowry was fuming that the USGA decided to water the greens in the afternoons, making conditions easier for those that teed off in the afternoon.
