Lowry back in contention as Poulter leads

While tournament leader Ian Poulter appropriately fed the ducks a turkey roll, Ireland’s Shane Lowry feasted on an eagle and four birdies on a storm-interrupted second round of the Turkish Airlines Open.

Poulter eased his way three clear of his rivals at 13-under par after 14 holes while Lowry had moved into a share of seventh by the same stage when play was halted for the day.

However Poulter interrupted his round at the ninth when a few ducks wandered onto the Montgomerie Maxx Royal Course. “I fed them Terry’s (caddy) turkey and cheese roll and they loved it,” said Poulter smiling.
