Shane Lowry was a surprising model of calm amid all the calamity in the British Open on Friday. Lowry was not immune from the endless punishment Royal Troon dished out on a day when Tiger Woods missed another cut, along with nine of the top 20 players in the world, including Rory McIlroy, Ludvig Aberg and Bryson DeChambeau.

He was close to losing his cool with a photographer who distracted him, a shot into the gorse bush, a beautiful provisional shot to the 11th green that didn't count when his lost ball became found and a double bogey that wiped out his two-shot lead.

Lowry steadied himself with two birdies on the last three holes for a 2-under 69, leaving him in a familiar position as he chases that silver claret jug he first won at Royal Portrush five years ago.

He had a two-shot lead over Justin Rose and Daniel Brown going into the weekend. "I was in control of my ball, did all the right things for a lot of the round.
