Lowry Eyes Second Amgen Irish Open Win
Shane Lowry is hoping to claim his second Amgen Irish Open win at Doonbeg, 17 years after his first victory as a 22-year-old amateur. He currently holds a four-shot lead over Denmark's Jacob Skov Olesen going into the final round.
Lowry had a strong performance on Saturday, carding a five-under-par 65 to follow up his opening-round course record 62. He credited his success to staying in the moment and playing his own game, saying 'I felt like I was just staying in shot by shot and doing my thing.'
The Irish golfer has faced heartbreak this season but is feeling confident with the support of a massive home crowd.
Lowry will face stiff competition from Skov Olesen tomorrow, who he described as 'a great young player' after his impressive performance on Saturday.
