Former Open champion Shane Lowry got his second round off to a strong start to move into the outright lead on day two. The Irishman was one of the few to master the blustery conditions on day one, finishing on five-under par without a single dropped shot and one behind surprise overnight leader, Englishman Dan Brown.
Lowry’s big breakthrough came in 2019 at Royal Portrush, where he claimed his maiden major victory with a dominant performance. Lowry’s ability to handle the pressure and adapt to the challenging conditions of a links course was on full display, earning him a six-shot victory and the Claret Jug.
Lowry’s driver choice emphasizes distance and control. The Srixon ZX5 MK II, with an 8.5° loft and the stable Mitsubishi Diamana shaft, offers a low spin rate and high launch, ideal for maximizing distance while maintaining accuracy. At Royal Troon, where the fairways are narrow and the rough is unforgiving, this combination will help Lowry hit longer, more precise drives, crucial for staying out of trouble and setting up easier approach shots.
