It's been a brutal morning for just about every player at Aronimink, but no one summed up the struggle quite like Shane Lowry who unveiled an innovative new shank/cold top/Oreo thin/duck slice on the par-3 17th hole. Watch it and weep.

Wild stuff, but understanable under the circumstances. With winds gusting near 20 miles an hour and real feel temperatures closer to mid-October than mid May, conditions were brutal on Friday morning, and when you're battling Mother Nature at every moment, sometimes you forget how to swing a golf club. Lowry learned that the hard way, emerging with a double bogey five following his tee shot, and will now need a strong inward nine if he wants to keep his Wanamaker hopes alive.
