Photograph: Raj Mehta/GettyShane Lowry shot a stunning eight-under-par 63 to move into a tie for the lead with Austin Smotherman at the Cognizant Classic on the PGA Tour. “It was a good shot, a nice high cut, it came out absolutely perfectly,” Lowry said. A runner-up finish in 2022 was followed by a tied fifth in 2023, tied fourth in 2024 and tied 11th last year. Lowry is then primed for victory if he can continue the work of today’s round, showing form before the Masters in April.
