Lowry holds joint lead in Irish Open

Amateur Shane Lowry, playing what Colin Montgomerie called “incredible” golf, continued to live in a dream world at The 3 Irish Open at County Louth today - and is joint leader with England’s Robert Rock heading into the final round.

Not even a five-hour hold-up for strong winds rattled the burly 22-year-old off track in what could now become the most astonishing European Tour debut in history.
