Pair swear by their misfortune as hopes left Hollow

A FURIOUS Shane Lowry lashed out at Quail Hollow and Tyrrell Hatton swore at his own club as tempers frayed on day two of the 107th US PGA Championship.

Lowry’s tee shot on the eighth hole pitched in the fairway and bounced sideways into a pitch mark left by another player.

That meant the former Open champion was not allowed relief for an embedded ball and, after confirming the situation with a rules official, Lowry could only hit his second shot into a greenside bunker.

Lowry responded by slamming his club into the turf and exclaiming loudly: “F*** this place” before going on to make a bogey five and flipping his middle finger at the hole as he tapped in.
