WATCH: You won't believe what happened Shane Lowry during opening round of CJ Cup. Footage from: Twitter - Shane Lowry
Irish golfer Shane Lowry got into a bit of bother during Thursday's opening round of the CJ Cup at the Congaree Golf Club.
The Offaly native, who carded a solid three-under-par 68 in yesterday's round, claimed that he "accidentally" broke his putter on the ninth hole.
The broken putter didn't seem to hamper Lowry as he wouldn't drop a shot all day - shooting two-under on the back nine and finishing in a tie for 15th.
After his round, 2019 British Open winner Lowry had to drive over an hour to purchase a brand new putter worth $229 as that was the nearest PGA Superstore in South Carolina.
