TV viewers furious with Shane Lowry coverage on Sky Sports during Masters final round

Viewers are not happy with the lack of Shane Lowry coverage during the final round of the Masters.

The Offaly man began the day seven shots behind leader Scottie Scheffler and was one under through the opening three holes.

But things went south for Lowry on the fourth hole when he triple bogeyed, although Sky Sports didn't actually show it unfolding.

One person tweeted: "Shane Lowry had a triple bogey on the third and the only way I found out about it was looking for it on Twitter. No coverage or mention of it on coverage."

Another commented: "The silent disappearing of Shane Lowry from the television coverage. Terrible things have happened, and you don't even need to check the app."

Someone else said: "What the hell happened Shane Lowry!? No coverage since he hit the provisional, it was a triple, and the app isn’t showing any of his shots on 4?"

"Shane Lowry triple bogeyed the 4th ten minutes ago. You would still be none the wiser if you were watching @SkySportsGolf pictures and that's not good enough. I mean, the bloke was only in 4th place," read another tweet.

Meanwhile, Rory McIlroy made the ideal start to his round with a birdie on the first and then smashed a 376-yard drive on the second, only to push his approach into a bunker and fail to get up and down.
