Shane Lowry should have fond memories of Oakmont and venue for today’s commencing 2025 US Open.

Lowry finished joint runner-up to Dustin Johnson in the 2016 US Open at Oakmont however his return to the famed Pennsylvania course did’t go all that well.

After a couple pars to start his day, the Irishman made a bogey on the par-5 12th—he teed off the 10th alongside Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose—and doubled the par-3 16th.

Lowry’s tee shot down the short par-4 17th found the rough just short and left of the green, leaving the No. 12-ranked player in the world a decent chance to get up and down for his first birdie of the tournament.

But it didn’t go to plan. Lowry’s first effort advanced a few feet, and he took his frustration out on a defenseless microphone lying in the grass to where Lowry was competing.

The Irishman eventually walked off with a horror nine-over 79.

Ouch!
