Lowry Sets Course Record with 62 at Amgen Irish Open

Shane Lowry's exceptional eight-under-par 62 at the Trump International Golf Links and Hotel in Doonbeg, Ireland has put him firmly in contention to win a second Irish Open title. The round, made up of nine birdies and one dropped shot on the par-four 13th hole, matched his score from the same tournament in 2009 when he won while still an amateur.

This impressive performance has catapulted Lowry into pole position at the Amgen Irish Open, which is taking place on Friday. The sun-drenched course played to perfection as Lowry's round was notable for its consistency and precision throughout.
