Lowry in Arizona contention
Shane Lowry fired himself into contention at the Waste Management Phoenix Open in Arizona - and even found time to hand cans of beer to fans.
The Offaly native shot an impressive 66 - his third sub-70 round in-a-row - to move to a tie for 12th place, six shots behind leader Byeong Hun An of South Korea.
The Irishman began Saturday in electric form with four birdies in his first four holes, followed by another at the eighth, seeing him shoot up the leaderboard.
However, dropped shots at nine and 11 halted his charge before his sixth and seventh birdies at the 13th and 17th respectively moved him back up into the mix on -10 for the tournament.
Lowry will have the backing of many of the raucous home crowd after he handed out signed cans of Guinness to fans at the 16th.
The gesture was enthusiastically received and although Lowry could only par that hole, he'll be hoping his generosity will be rewarded with some solid support in Sunday's final round.
An holds a one-shot lead over Scotland's Martin Laird while the in-form Hideki Matsuyama is in a group of four players a further three shots adrift.
Joint overnight leader Brendan Steele had to watch An in envy as his own round failed to ignite, the American carding a one-under round of 70, a score which saw him drop to a share of seventh place.
