Lowry Sets the Course Record with a 62 at Doonbeg and Builds a 3-Shot Lead in the Irish Open
- Shane Lowry carded a course record 62 at the Amgen Irish Open, moving into a three-stroke lead at 11-under par at Trump International Golf Links in County Clare.
- Seeking his first individual title in four years, the 39-year-old Lowry aims to replicate his 2009 amateur victory at the Irish Open in Baltray.
- With nine birdies, Lowry turned in a front nine of 30, though a bogey at the 13th briefly halted momentum toward a potential 59.
- Tom McKibbin moved to five under, half a dozen shots adrift, while Rory McIlroy remains at two under following back-to-back 69s.
- Conditions are expected to be better on Friday as Lowry chases history on the island of Ireland, where Fred Daly and Harry Bradshaw were back-to-back winners in 1946 and 1947.
