McIlroy finished one shot behind Lowry after a five-under par round of 67, which included one eagle and four birdies.
McIlroy was inches away from forcing a play-off on the 18th, but saw his attempt for eagle drop just short.
The tournament had been cut to just 54 holes after Friday’s play was postponed following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
