Read our privacy policy Shane Lowry set his sights on a Sunday showdown with Rory McIlroy after the headline attractions played their way into contention in the Amgen Irish Open. I’m pretty sure he’ll get there anyway.” Lowry and McIlroy were among the early starters on Friday and both were left to rue failing to take full advantage of surprisingly benign conditions. But when I go back and assess my round, I’ll be pretty happy with what I did today.” The highlight of McIlroy’s round was an eight iron to 15 feet to set up an eagle on the par-five first, his 10th hole of the day, but the world number three covered his remaining eight holes in one over. It takes a lot of energy out of you, but when you’re playing well the adrenaline kicks in and I’m looking forward to tomorrow.” Spain’s Alejandro del Rey had also eagled the first and looked set to post a testing target when he reached eight under par, but ran up a quadruple-bogey eight on the 15th and finished alongside McIlroy on four under.
