Brilliant second round fires Shane Lowry into contention at PGA Championship

A brilliant bogey free second round has fired Shane Lowry right into contention at the final major of the year.

After a weather delay last night, the Offaly golfer finished his round today and ended with six birdies to card a six under par 64.

That has moved him right up into a tie for fifth place on seven under just three shots off the lead.

He will be back in action again later today for his third round.
