ABU DHABI (AFP) – Shane Lowry continued his mastery over the par-three holes of the Abu Dhabi Golf Club on Friday, making birdies on three out of four to take a commanding lead into the final round of the HSBC Championship.
The Irishman has now birdied the par-3 seventh, 12th and 15th holes of the golf course on each of the first three rounds, carrying him to a three-shot lead in the $7 million event.
He had four other birdies to show in his five-under par 67, a commendable effort in windy conditions that took him to a 17-under-par 199 after 54 holes.
