Shane Lowry fought hard to get into the Sunday shake-up at Mount Juliet - but will need one of the rounds of his life to keep the home fires burning tomorrow.
Lowry lifted the spirits of the home fans in the morning, shooting a 68 that could have been even better.
He climbed to seven under par for the Irish Open with his fourth birdie of the round on the 10th hole but the Clara man couldn't advance his position beyond that.
