Rory McIlroy fell down the leaderboard after a disappointing round.
SHANE LOWRY SHOOK off a “disappointing” short par miss to card a five-under par 66 on Saturday and join David Skinns and Austin Eckroat atop the leaderboard at the US PGA Tour Cognizant Cup.
English journeyman Skinns carded a bogey-free five-under par 66 and Eckroat posted a 68 to join him there — three strokes ahead of a group of five players on 203. A birdie at the 10th gave him the solo lead at 12-under, but he missed a three-foot par putt at 13 to fall one back as Eckroat birdied 13. Advertisement “I was very happy with how I reacted after that,” added Lowry, who rolled in a seven-foot birdie putt at the 16th and got up and down from a greenside bunker for a birdie at the par-five 18th.
