Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry maintained a share of the lead in the Zurich Classic of New Orleans after shooting a 2-under 70 in alternate play on Friday. The Irish pair sits atop the leaderboard at 13-under 131 alongside the teams of Davis Thompson-Andrew Novak, Ryan Brehm-Mark Hubbard, and Aaron Rai-David Lipsky at TPC Louisiana. The tournament, which is the PGA Tour's only team event, will see the teams play best ball on Saturday and close with alternate shot on Sunday.
Following closely behind the leaders are several teams just one stroke back, including the defending champions Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele. They are joined by Callum Tarren-David Skinns, Nick Taylor-Adam Hadwin, Zach Johnson-Ryan Palmer, Luke List-Henrik Norlander, and Corey Connors-Taylor Pendrith.
