Shane Lowry posts a course-record 62 in the second round of the Amgen Irish Open to move into the lead at Doonbeg. Both outlets report that the score comes during Lowry’s front nine and puts him ahead at the halfway stage.
Yahoo Sports says the 62 gives Lowry a three-stroke lead over the field, highlighting that he plays in front of his home crowd. RTE News also frames the performance as a move to a “commanding clubhouse lead,” while noting that Tom McKibbin remains in contention at the halfway point. Other aspects of the leaderboard beyond Lowry, including whether the lead is confirmed for all players or how close McKibbin is, are not detailed in the provided excerpts.
Together, the reports agree on the central result: Lowry’s 62 is a course record and it positions him in control of the tournament going into the next phase of play.
