Lowry promises more aggression

Shane Lowry has vowed to now bring more aggression to his game after ending a run of recent outs to easily make the halfway cut in the Valero Texas Open.

Lowry added a level par 72 to his opening score of 70 to be just outside the top-20 as the afternoon half of the field, including fellow Irishman Pádraig Harrington and Rory McIlroy and took to the warmer conditions on TPC San Antonio course.

The reigning Portugal Masters champion, competing on a third straight PGA Tour sponsor’s invitation, posted three birdies and just as many bogeys in his round.
