The Offaly native is four shots off USA’s Benjamin Griffin, who leads on seven-under-par. Advertisement Lowry got off to a strong start as he birdied the second hole thanks to an 11-foot putt. On the par-five seventh, a brilliant 272-yard shot from the fairway left him with a simple three and a half foot putt for an eagle. The Irish star suffered a setback on the par-five 11th, with his first dropped shot of the day. He found the rough off the tee, before missing a putt to save par from just under 12 feet. Lowry produced a birdie on the par-four 13th, before a bogey on the 15th was offset by another birdie on the par-three 16th. View the leaderboard in full here.
