Lowry leads by four for final day as putter catches fire

Shane Lowry secured a four-shot lead at the Amgen Irish Open on Saturday after carding a five-under 65 at Doonbeg Golf Club, positioning himself to win his second title.
Play halted for five minutes when United States President Donald Trump arrived via Marine One, with Air Force One landing as Lowry played the third hole during the unusual presidential visit.
Displaying putting skill, Lowry recorded birdies on the eighth, 10th, 12th, and 15th holes while saving par from difficult spots on the back nine to sustain his advantage.
The Masters champion Rory McIlroy slumped to a 74, finishing tied for 50th after a pair of double bogeys derailed his title defense on an eventful day.
Heading into Sunday's final round, Danish golfer Jacob Skov Olesen trails by four strokes, while Tom McKibbin sits tied for fourth at the Trump International Golf Links and Hotel.
