Lowry & Rose move firmly into contention at US PGA

Shane Lowry shot a major record-equalling 62 as he moved into contention behind joint leaders Collin Morikawa and Xander Schauffele in the third round of the US PGA Championship in Kentucky.

The 2019 Open champion holed nine birdies in a sublime bogey-free round to reach 13 under, two off the lead.

Lowry was buoyed by playing with Ryder Cup team-mate Justin Rose, who signed for a superb 64 to sit one further back on 12 under.

Rose is level with Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre, who shot a 66.

Morikawa (67) and Schauffele (68) lead by one from fellow American Sahith Theegala, who carded a 67 to improve to 14 under.

Former US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau (67) and Norway’s Viktor Hovland (66) are level with Lowry.
