Shane Lowry Dominates in Windy Irish Open | Pro Golf News

Shane Lowry is flying solo at the Irish Open, leading by three shots after an eight-under 62 that shattered the course record — and he’s having the time of his life on the greens. With birdies on half the holes and a grin wider than the wind, Lowry’s confidence is off the charts, especially in the gusty conditions that suit him best. Behind him, Haotong Li (63) and Denmark’s Skov Olesen/Nørgaard (both 64) are hot on his heels, while defending champ Rory McIlroy struggles with putting and sits nine back — even three-putting his final hole. Former leader Joaquin Niemann, Patrick Reed, Jon Rahm, and even Brooks Koepka (making his return) are fading fast. McIlroy admits Lowry thrives in the wind — and that swagger? That’s exactly what separates the winner from the rest.
