TROON, Scotland – Not everyone was going the wrong way during a torturous second round of The Open. Just ask Joaquin Niemann and Bob MacIntyre. Niemann appeared to torpedo his chances Friday when he made a mess of the Postage Stamp hole with just a wedge in his hand. He found three different bunkers on the 120-yard par 3, then added a three-putt from 30 feet, to walk off with a quintuple-bogey 8.

The leader at The Open Championship turned a rare miscue into a bad look.

After Shane Lowry badly mis-hit a ball that sailed into the crowd Friday during his 11th hole, the Irish golfer turned around and angrily gesticulated at what seemed to be a cameraman whom he believed was too close.

As I was over the ball I could just see you putting your f—kin’ camera up. Just get outta the way. Just get back there,” Lowry said while seemingly gesturing to the camera. “F–k’s sake.”

Rory McIlroy needed to press Friday afternoon at The Open. Unfortunately for McIlroy, he’s already pressed the eject button. After an opening-round 78, McIlroy started his second round in gusty conditions at Royal Troon with back-to-back pars. He then bogeyed the par-4 third hole before a disastrous triple bogey at the par-5 fourth that dropped him to 11 over, a whopping six shots back of the projected cut line.

A dejected Rory McIlroy effectively ruled out his chances of contending for the 152nd Open Championship after posting a disappointing opening round of 78 at Royal Troon. Shane Lowry surged to the top of the leaderboard at five under par, taking advantage of the calmer late afternoon conditions at Royal Troon. In contrast, Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau had a rough start, with McIlroy carding a seven-over-par 78 and Woods shooting a 79.
