Ireland's Lowry in three-way tie for lead at PGA Tour Cognizant Cup, SA's Higgo 5 off the pace

Former Open Champion Shane Lowry shook off a "disappointing" short par miss to card a five-under par 66 on Saturday and join David Skinns and Austin Eckroat atop the leaderboard at the US PGA Tour Cognizant Cup.

Lowry, who finished runner-up at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida in 2022, had a 13-under par total of 200.

English journeyman Skinns carded a bogey-free five-under par 66 and Eckroat posted a 68 to join him there -- three strokes ahead of a group of five players on 203.
