After getting stopped for a 90-minute weather delay, Lowry and partner Rory McIlroy finished off a 61 in style as the 2025 Masters champion rolled in an eagle putt. That put the duo at 22 under for the tournament and put them near the top of the leaderboard heading into the final round.

Rory McIlroy, playing for the first time since winning the Masters, teamed with Shane Lowry to shoot an 8-under 64 in better-play Thursday in the Zurich Classic, leaving the Irish defending champions six shots behind leaders Isaiah Salinda and Kevin Vetlo.
