Lowry finds feet in Seoul

Shane Lowry continued to display his fondness for the Blackstone course on day two of the Ballantine’s Championship in Seoul.

Lowry was struggling after eight holes in brighter and sunnier conditions compared to day one but then stormed back up the board with a hat-trick of birdies from the 12th hole before eventually posting a two-under-par 70.

It got the Esker Hills star back to level par and seven shots behind Austria’s Berd Weisberger, who posted the best round of the day, a seven-under-par 65, to move to eight under par.
