PGA Championship: Shane Lowry equals major history with stunning third-round 62 at Valhalla

Lowry was eight strokes off the halfway lead but produced a stunning nine-under 62 in benign conditions at Valhalla Golf Club, carding nine birdies in a bogey-free round to jump to 13 under, with only a missed chance on the final hole preventing the first '61 round' in a men's major.

How Lowry entered major record booksPlaying alongside former world No 1s Justin Rose and Jason Day, Lowry - starting the day tied-29th on the leaderboard - rolled in a 15-foot birdie at the second and added another from a similar distance at the next. Lowry's birdie burst continued when he holed from 20 feet at the fourth and picked up a shot at the fifth, with the Irishman taking advantage of the par-five seventh to register a fifth birdie in six holes.
