How did Rory McIlroy & Shane Lowry perform in Round 3 of the 2025 Zurich Classic?

Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry made a strong move up the leaderboard after Round 3 at the Zurich Classic. The duo combined for an impressive 11-under-par 61 at TPC Louisiana to jump into a tie for sixth place.

Playing in the four-ball format, McIlroy and Lowry carded six birdies on the front nine without a single bogey, going out in 30 strokes. Key birdies came early on holes 1, 2, and 5.

The back nine continued the momentum. They picked up birdies on holes 10, 11, 13, 14, and 15. However, the pair ran into trouble at the par-3 17th when Lowry dropped a bogey. McIlroy quickly made up for it, draining a 30-foot eagle putt on the 18th hole to finish the round on a high note.

Individually, Rory McIlroy contributed five birdies and an eagle, while Shane Lowry added three birdies and an eagle of his own on the par-5 seventh.

The duo is currently sharing the T6 spot with the teams of Cam Davis and Adam Svensson, and Luke List and Henrik Norlander. Andrew Novak and Ben Griffin hold the lead heading into the final round.
