“We were told walking on 12,” Lowry said when asked when he was made aware of the fiasco.
“No, it didn't affect the way I played. If anything, I credit Dustin for playing the way he played on the way in, having that hanging over him, because I probably would have wanted to know straight away if it was me. So yeah, that's what we were told.”
Lowry remained well in contention at the start of the back nine but three-putted the 14th, 15th and 16th which resulted in his joint second-place finish after carding a six over 76.
And as heartbreaking an afternoon as it was in Pennsylvania, a disappointed Lowry is treating it as a learning curve in his career.
“I’m bitterly disappointed, standing here,” Lowry said. “It's not easy to get yourself in a position I got myself in today. It was there for the taking and I didn't take it.
“But you can only learn from your mistakes. I always say it's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.
“I’m sure I learned a lot from today and I don't know what it is yet, but when I'm in that position again, and I know I will be, I'll handle it probably a little bit better.”
