ST. ANDREWS, Scotland -- The world's best players are having their way with the Old Course at St. Andrews early on Saturday in the third round of the 150th Open -- none more so than Ireland's Shane Lowry.
Lowry, the 2019 Open champion at Royal Portrush, had consecutive chip-in eagles on Nos. 9 and 10, both par-4s. He became the first player in 21 years to have back-to-back eagles in The Open; Phil Mickelson did it on consecutive par-5 holes at Royal Lytham in 2001.
The eagles helped push Lowry into contention for another Claret Jug.
