Lowry is hoping to contend for the Claret Jug this week. The 2019 Open Championship winner made the cut by a good margin.
However, Lowry faces an uphill battle to get back in contention after receiving a two-stroke penalty. He received the penalty after officials determined that he caused his ball to move while preparing to play his shot on the 12th hole.
This led to some criticism of Lowry on social media and some netizens even called for his disqualification.
