LOUISVILLE — In an era when mankind has started treating perfectly proud major golf courses to routine instances of slaughter, another 62 was thrown on the pile Saturday at Valhalla Golf Club. Shane Lowry got it, which is proof that decent things can happen to decent people.
As Lowry bolted through the sunshine from a tie for 29th at 4 under par to a tie for fourth at 13 under, two shots behind PGA Championship leaders Collin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele, he watched his nine birdies plunk into cups during a time when big bubbas such as Valhalla get mauled and 62s, while still sterling, shine less brightly than before. If somebody in the pub starts crowing about a 62 nowadays, listeners might even manufacture reasons for rapid exits.
