Sky Sports forced to apologise for Shane Lowry language after surprise eagle
Sky Sports were forced to apologise after Shane Lowry's expletive after he surprised himself with a hole-out eagle. The Offaly man returns to Oakmont for the first time since 2016, where he heartbreakingly lost the US Open despite holding a four-shot lead going into the final round. It was a frustrating opening round for Lowry who struggled in tough conditions but did have a moment to cheer about with an unexpected eagle. Teeing off on the back nine to start the day, Lowry played his 12th hole, Oakmont's third hole, where he holed out from the middle of the fairway. Six over par to that point, an amused Lowry let out an expletive in relief,f which Sky Sports host Nick Dougherty apologised for. The eagle-eyed and sharp-hearing Sky Sports social media team made sure to clip the expletive out when posting the shot on social media. Much was made about the tough conditions coming into this major and Lowry felt the full effects of that in his opening nine holes as he made the turn four-over-par while playing partner Rory McIlroy was also in action and made the turn two-under-par but gave up a number of bogeys on the run in to slide down the leaderboard.
