Eight bogeys and three birdies in windy conditions in Antrim have put Lowry in an uphill battle to make tomorrow's cut mark.

He's finished on five-over-par at Galgorm and is ten shots behind the clubhouse leaders Dean Burmester and Jordan Smith.
The South African and Englishman signed for a round of 65.
James Sugrue is two off the lead, and best of the Irish.
The 2019 Amateur Champion shot a 3-under par round of 67 at Galgorm Castle.
