Getting cranky with the crowd too - not a great look.

He's a BIFFO. That behaviour is normal.

Got narky with a cameraman on Friday too but laughed it off as he finished with a good score.

The mask slips a few times.

He's an ignorant man,that's it.

6th on his own, only nine players under par, disappointing but that is unfair, not easy when things start going awry, McIlroy notorious for losing his calm, hope they do well in olympics & Portrush next year

Yeah, he's a real prick.

2 rookies were struggling. Then came Shane Lowry's memorable gesture

What kind of person is Open Championship contender Shane Lowry? His gesture to two struggling rookies (and complete strangers) reveals a lot.

I've heard these stories about Lowry loads of times. He's a very generous guy. Golf is fu*king hard sometimes and yesterday was one of the hardest. Most of us would have lost our cool playing yesterday in the conditions. Toughest back 9 I think I've ever seen. A worry for him is that He does blow up pretty spectacular when in contention.

Don't mind the trolls and their disrespect for this islands second greatest ever golfer (after Padraig ofc)

 

[Nollaig O Muracu]

I don't usually after time, but had Lowry each way (nothing unusual there, I often have him). Saturday was rough, and I didn't see one minute of it yesterday, obviously, but looks like he gave it a good shot to get back to four under?

 

[TonyCork80]

Good luck to Lowry he's a superb player but I reckon if he had a bit more control over himself and his emotions he'd be consistently in the world top 10. That he isn't is down to him. He's not a kid anymore. I don't like the way he conducts himself on the course with people who are only doing their jobs for a fraction of the money he is getting. He's treated his caddies very poorly at times too and for all the "Ah he's a lidgind" that gets thrown around on social media when he uses foul language, he's in a professional environment and I'd say most of us if we reacted like that towards subordinates or in front of paying customers in our workplaces would have a few questions to answer.
