Look: Shane Lowry Hits Incredible Shot At The Masters (The Spun)

Shane Lowry has quickly laid claim to the best shot of the tournament with this incredible birdie at the 10th hole today.

He bogeyed on the first hole then had two birdies on the front nine to bring him even. But a double-bogey on the 15th sent him back to square one and one-over par heading into Round Two. But with one quick chip that took a big piece of grass with it, Lowry found the green – and then his ball rolled right into the hole for a birdie.
