The Offaly man has enjoyed an impressive start to the tournament.
Offaly's Shane Lowry has broken the course record at Doonbeg to establish the clubhouse lead on the second day of golf's Irish Open.
The 2009 winner had nine birdies in a round of 62 as he moved to 11-under-par, three shots clear of his nearest challengers Jacob Olesen and Li Haotong.
Lowry says it's particularly pleasing to play so well in front of his home support:
Tom McKibbin went around in 67 today and he'll go into the weekend at five-under, while defending champion Rory McIlroy is two-under after his first two rounds.
