TROON, Scotland (Reuters) - Irishman Shane Lowry kept his composure after an unfortunate ruling on the 11th hole to card a two-under-par 69 and hold the clubhouse lead in the British Open second round on Friday.
The 2019 champion ended up with a double-bogey six at the par-four 11th after his ball appeared to be lost in a gorse bush before it was found by a spectator.
