Lowry carded a moving day three-under 67 to jump alongside Straka at the summit on fourteen-under and the former Ryder Cup partners will reacquaint themselves with each other in a final group again having done so in Pebble Beach earlier this year.

County Louth’s Gerard Dunne will carry local hopes into the weekend at the Flogas Irish Men’s Amateur Open Championship as he shares the lead at Seapoint Golf Links. The former Seapoint member carded a morning round of 67 to reach ten-under-par which at the time put him two shots in front and his score wasn’t passed after a testing afternoon breeze saw defending champion Matthew McClean and England’s Lewy Hayward end the day alongside him.

Matthew McClean carded a course record 64 at Seapoint Golf Links to get his defence of the Flogas Irish Men’s Amateur Open Championship off to the perfect start. Glorious sunshine and a fresh breeze made for perfect links conditions and the players took advantage on a low scoring Thursday with the course record broken twice in fifteen minutes. McClean’s eight under round was good enough to pip Concra Wood’s Charlie McDonnell by a shot.
