Shane Lowry comes up shy at Cognizant Classic

In golf, one slip-up could change the entire course of the game. This is what happened with Shane Lowry as he came up shy at the Cognizant Classic after some impressive performances in the first three rounds.

Lowry carded scores of 67,67 and 66 to keep up with the pace. By the time he was done with third round, he was on top of the leaderboard. However, he slipped up a bit in the final round.

While being tied for the top spot in the final round, the weather delay on Sunday meant Lowry could only play five holes. This five holes though proved to be tricky as he made four pars and one bogey.

This saw him fall three strokes behind Austin Eckroat. Two more bogeys on the 11th and 15th hole saw him tumble down and finish the round with a score of 71 and end the tournament tied for fourth, four shots behind Eckroat who claimed his first PGA Tour win.

Despite the disappointment, the golfer was happy to be back in the mix for the top spot and is now looking forward to the next big events.
