Shane Lowry Misses Cut And Finishes US Open On 17-Over-Par

American JJ Spaun secured his first major at Oakmount.

It was a disappointing weekend for Irish golfers at the US Open in Oakmount. 

Offaly's Shane Lowry missed the cut following a second round card of 78 on top of his opening round 79 to finish on 17-over-par. 

Lowry also had had a moment to forget as he picked up his ball on the par-four 14th green before marking it, which ended up costing him a shot. 

Rory McIlroy managed to make the cut but couldn't steer his way to a reasonable challenge as the Down man ended on seven-over-par.

JJ Spaun finished with a 65-footer birdie to claim his first major and finished on one-under-par.
