Shane Lowry narrowly failed to card the first 61 in men's major championship history in the third round of the 106th US PGA Championship at Valhalla.

The 2019 Open champion needed to birdie the 18th to write his name in the history books, but missed from 12 feet and had to settle for a bogey-free 62.
