Shane Lowry produced an inspired display on the greens to take a four-shot lead into the final round of the Irish Open and close in on his first individual win since 2022.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Irishman started the third round three shots clear after shooting a scintillating course-record 62 on Friday at Trump International Golf Links in Doonbeg, County Clare.<\/p>\n

Despite being caught by Denmark’s Jacob Skov Olesen, Lowry one-putted every green on the back nine in a five-under 65 to maintain control of the tournament. <\/p>\n

“I’m normally the one watching other people do it, so why not me sometimes,” Lowry said when asked about his joy on the greens. <\/p>\n

“It’s nice, I’m seeing my lines well and starting the ball where I want and they’re going in and hopefully that stays that way for another 24 hours.”<\/p>\n

Olesen, chasing his first DP World Tour title, bogeyed the final hole to shoot a four-under 66, a score matched by Chile’s Joaquin Niemann to move into third place on his own. <\/p>\n

On a day when play was briefly halted amid US President Donald Trump’s arrival at the course as part of a two-day visit to Ireland, defending champion Rory McIlroy (74) and two-time winner Jon Rahm (72) both slipped back to erase their hopes of lifting the trophy again. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
