OAKMONT, Pa. (AP) — Shane Lowry was penalized a stroke Friday at the U.S. Open after he accidentally picked up his ball on the 14th green without marking it.
If nothing else, it gave Lowry something to laugh about during an otherwise miserable round. The penalty shot gave him a double bogey on the hole and brought his score for the tournament to 16-over par with four holes left.

The cut line was hovering at 6 over. Lowry, who played in the final group the last time the U.S. Open was at Oakmont in 2016, was set to miss the cut in his second straight major after tying for 42nd at the Masters.
The Rules of Golf say if a player picks up a ball on the green without marking it, he can replace it at the original spot with a penalty of one stroke. After realizing what he'd done, he and his playing partners, Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose, laughed, then Lowry asked a rules official what to do?
'Just put it back where it was?' he said.
He did, then barely missed a 55-footer that would have been for bogey, including the penalty.

U.S. Open Saturday live updates, leaderboard: Will Scottie Scheffler rally?
Sam Burns bolted to the lead in the U.S. Open with a brilliant 5-under 65 on Friday. Can he hold it on moving day? Just three players remain under par heading into the weekend at Oakmont, which spent most of Friday chewing up and spitting out everyone but Burns, who sits at 3-under, one shot ahead of J.J. Spaun. Advertisement Lurking? Well, everyone, because as we've seen, things can turn quickly at Oakmont, where double bogey can be found anywhere. This includes World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who may be seven shots back, but is still very much in the hunt. Remember, Johnny Miller, way back in 1973, entered the final round six shots back and won. So there's always a chance at Oakmont, maybe even for Rory McIlroy, who snuck into the weekend and enters Round 3 nine back.
