Shane Lowry Struggles On Day One Of Irish Open

He's already facing a battle to make the weekend.

Shane Lowry is struggling through the first round of the Irish Open. 

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

Speaking after his round, Shane Lowry gave his thoughts on a difficult afternoon:

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.
