Justin Thomas and Shane Lowry enjoyed a hilarious exchange after the American topped his tee shot on the 18th hole at St Andrews’ Old Course. After Lowry poked fun at the shot, Thomas told his playing partner to ’shut the f*** up’.
Thomas, one of the best golfers on the planet, cold-topped his tee shot on the 18th hole while playing alongside Lowry and Viktor Hovland on Friday evening. The moment was similar to the PGA Championship winner’s shot on the same hole in Round One, and Lowry made sure to ridicule Thomas for it.
On Friday, Thomas pulled the driver as so many other stars did in Round Two as they faced a breeze coming into their face. The 29-year-old proceeded to fire a strike up the left side and quickly reached for his tee – only for Lowry to mutter ‘much improved’.
The Irishman was referring to Thomas’ first round error on the same shot. Amid much laughter, Thomas quickly replied with one of the hot mic moments of the year as he simply declared: “Shut the f*** up.”
