Shane Lowry may be far from home this week at the DPWT India Championship, but he looked right at ease in the opening round. Starting his day at the DPWT India Championship on the front nine, the Irishman made the turn at 2-under before catching fire on the back.
Between holes 11 and 15, Lowry rolled in five straight birdies, vaulting himself into a share of the lead. He added one more at the 18th to take the outright lead at 8-under by the end of the round.
Lowry will begin his second round of the DPWT India Championship late Thursday at 10:05 p.m. ET, playing alongside Tommy Fleetwood and Luke Donald.
