'I tried to throw up and I couldn't' - Shane Lowry struck down by a virus as his nightmare week at Portrush continues
Briefly

Shane Lowry expressed his disappointment after receiving a two-stroke penalty during The Open due to a ball movement he didn't notice. This penalty changed his score from 70 to 72, leaving him ten shots off the lead. Lowry struggled with illness, stating he hadn't eaten that day and felt nauseous. Despite feeling let down, he acknowledged the sympathy of his peers and mentioned the difficulties he faced overnight with cramps. He maintained a positive outlook by joking about an upcoming holiday, while still grappling with the challenges of the competition.
"I haven't eaten today yet," said Lowry, who admitted he was still "gutted" over the two-stroke penalty that turned a 70 into a 72.
"To be honest, I'm gutted," he said. "I wanted to do well so badly today and this week and I put so much into this week that yeah, it's hard to take."
