Lowry moves two shots clear as McIlroy attempts to put poor start behind him

Shane Lowry, who won the Irish Open as an amateur in 2009, holed from 35 feet for another birdie on the 10th to move two shots clear of the field.

A similar cheer also greeted McIlroy's tee shot finding the fairway on the first, the four-time major winner having run up a quadruple-bogey eighth on the same hole on Thursday.
