PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland - If there were any nerves concealed behind Shane Lowry’s thick beard they had no impact on his golf as the Irishman took the British Open by the scruff of the neck with a sensational course record in Saturday’s third round.
Several other players, notably Fleetwood, tucked into the third-day birdie-feast but they could not keep pace with the 32-year-old from across the border. Lowry, whose previous best in a major was tied for second at the 2016 U.S. Open, had missed four consecutive cuts at the British Open but is now poised for a remarkable victory.
Cries of “Ole Ole” broke out as Lowry then nailed his approach on the 17th before another birdie dropped. “My mind is still a bit fuzzy, I just really enjoyed it today,” Lowry, from County Offaly, said. “I played great golf, the crowd were incredible and I just felt so comfortable. Westwood, 46, began his third round with three successive birdies and briefly topped the leaderboard but he fell away and finished on eight under after a disappointing 70.
