Shane Lowry was assessed a two-stroke penalty following his second round at the Open Championship on Friday after the broadcast video feed appeared to show his ball moving slightly when he took a practice swing in the rough on the 12th hole.

Rory McIlroy’s walk up the 18th hole at Royal Portrush six years ago was the cruelest of sneak previews. A chance to see what it might look like, what it might feel like. The crowd surrounding the final green during the second round of the 2019 Open Championship welcomed the then 30-year-old with an applause that only your own can produce.
