Shane Lowry finishes second in first tournament of his season

Posted by

A closing round of 64 has seen Shane Lowry finish second in his season-opening tournament at the Hong Kong Open.

The Offaly man finished up on 13 under par, four shots off the winner Australian Wade Ormsby.

Open champion Lowry hit five birdies and an eagle in his final round, dropping just one shot in what was the best round of day four.

Ormsby lead throughout the final round, having been co-leader after the opening round, to win the tournament for the second time. His first triumph here was in November 2017.

Lowry will compete in next week’s Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship.
