Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry are two shots off the lead ahead of the PGA Tour's Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry are still pushing for victory at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans with the pair just two shots off the lead ahead of the final round of the PGA Tour's two-man team event. McIlroy and Lowry recorded a blemish-free eight-under 64 in the best-ball format on Saturday to rise to 21 under for the tournament and sit in a share of third spot at TPC Louisiana.
'Birdies were a little harder to come by than they were on Thursday in the better-ball format. 'I think today was about staying patient knowing that the course was going to present some opportunities, especially on that back nine.' Four-time major champion McIlroy is making his debut in this tournament having previously rejected offers from Bubba Watson to be his partner in earlier editions.
