PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — A native of Ireland, Shane Lowry grew up playing some of the world’s most challenging golf courses. They include the Royal Portrush Golf Club, where he won the 2019 Open Championship.
Now that he lives in Jupiter, Lowry ranks the Champion Course at PGA National as one of the toughest he plays. So he was pleased to shoot a 3-under-par 67 Saturday to move into a second-place tie in the Honda Classic.
“I love the setup here, and I love this kind of golf course where if I shoot 2- or 3-under and I’m happy with myself, that’s the type of golf course I like,” Lowry said. “I feel like personally that too many weeks we play where it’s 20-, 25-under winning tournaments, so for me, this is more enjoyable than that.”
