'There wasn’t a couple of tees pulled forward,' Shane Lowry DISGRUNTLED after losing the first spot at the Open Championship 2024

It was a grind. Wasn't much fun...You'd have to question why there wasn't a couple of tees pulled forward today, to be honest. You know, I think 15 and 17, like 15, 500 yards playing into that wind it's, you know, yead. They keep trying to make holes longer yet but the best hole in this course a hundred yards. So, yeah. Shane Lowry said to the media after Round 3
