Shane Lowry’s hopes of breaking into the world’s Top 50 suffered a reverse when he paid a high price for what he admitted was unnecessary aggression, poor course management and lack of patience in the third round of the $7m Turkish Airlines Open.

Amateur ace Gary Hurley promised to learn from an 81 that was like a scene from The Good, The Bad and the Ugly.

Ballymena amateur Dermot McElroy opened with a two over 73 but his round could have been sensational had he not played the wrong ball on his 10th hole in Irish Open at Fota Island.
