SHANE LOWRY CLOSED in on the US Open leaders with a brilliant start to his third round at Chambers Bay.
Lowry moved to three-under-par with a birdie at the 10th, three shots behind leader Jordan Spieth.
After opening with a bogey on the second to drop back to level par, Lowry hit his stride and birdied the sixth and ninth to go out in 34.
The short birdie putt at 10 moved him into a tie for fourth place alongside Patrick Reed.
Here’s how the leaderboard looks at 00.25:
Playing some fantastic golf. Unlucky not to hole a few more birdie putts but he has put himself in some great positions.
Come on Lowry!!
Brilliant to see a proud Irish man doing so well in a Major! Go on Lowry, son.
Hoping lowry wins it as he is a proud Irishman. Watching in Australia however the TV feed from the US is showing every player on the back 9 apart from shane lowry. Would be absolutely brilliant to see shane win this major
Can’t see him winning it but a top 5 finish would be some result for him.
About time he got a mention. He’s been playing well for 3 days and yet it was only Mcilroy playing shite ye were reporting on.
Lowry for the Olympics.
They say you should never bet with your heart but the Irishness got the better of me yesterday morning(Sat) and when i saw that bet365 had Lowry at 80/1 to win it i just had to have a go.If he starts today with the birdie form he showed in some parts yesterday he won’t give 2 “Fs” about those boyo’s stature who are ahead of him now. If he gets closer early on he will not lack in confidence i’d say and lets see Speights etc steady hands then…
Go to bed just like the offaly hurlers and footballers hel dissappear fairly quickly.
They didn’t go to bed in ’94 tell ya that
no need for it. christ the begrudgery! C’mon shane!
John Ryan, you are a Dick
Offaly are fairly dung though
Not as dung as Wicklow
Ha no fair point but heading to Christy Ring with the great unwashed at a rate of knots!
just not up there with the very top guys yet… hopefully he can make the final step
