SHANE LOWRY ROLLED in three straight birdies late in his first round at the RSM Classic, leaving him three shots off the early pace in Georgia.
A 35-foot birdie putt on the eighth — Lowry’s penultimate hole of the day — saw the Clara native move to three-under par.

His opening 67 leaves him three shots behind clubhouse leaders Matt Wallace and Camilo Villegas who top a tightly packed leaderboard.
No fewer than 30 players are within three shots of the lead, with Graham McDowell just one further shot adrift of that group after a round of 68 for two-under par.
Lowry switches to Sea Island’s Plantation Course for his second round at 3.50pm Irish time alongside Danny Willett and Troy Merritt, while McDowell — who plays the Seaside Course today — is out at 3pm.
