Forced to finish his first round of the CJ Cup with a broken putter, Shane Lowry rushed to the nearest store to buy a new putter!
Shane Lowry is an artist… who does not give up! After breaking his putter on hole number 9 during the first round of the CJ Cup, the Irishman managed to play his return round at -2… better than on the first nine holes with an intact putter! With a signed card of 68 (-3) for a bogey-free crossing day, the winner of the 2019 British Open immediately drove to the PGA Tour Superstore in Bluffton located an hour’s drive from Congaree Golf Club. As shown in the photo, Lowry was able to pick up a brand new Odyssey putter, certainly similar to his own.

If the Irishman did not specify the circumstances of the accident, we know that he will attack his second day of competition in South Carolina with a smile! A smile that will also certainly light up the staff and customers on Thursday at the PGA Tour Superstore in Bluffton who must have been surprised to come across the Irish star in their usual store!
