But Lowry’s round then began to unravel after a bogey on the 2nd preceded a costly double bogey on the 4th, a hole where he needed two attempts to escape from a greenside bunker.The 2019 Open champion was unable to pick up shots in his closing holes and another bogey arrived on the par-three 8th. It leaves him at two-over for the tournament after a back nine of 39 and he is eight shots off leader Justin Thomas in a tie for 46th.

Power had carded a 71 yesterday before today’s 69 sees him at level par for the tournament in a tie for 23rd. He got an early boost with a birdie on the 2nd before handing that shot back at the 3rd. Then Power’s back nine commenced with a birdie on the 10th after he sank a 35-foot putt and another followed on the 13th.
