SHANE LOWRY AND Rory McIlroy posted two-over par rounds of 72 to slip further down the FedEx St Jude Championship leaderboard at TPC Southwind in Memphis.
Lowry, who needs to make a move to qualify among the top 50 for next week’s FedEx Cup play-off event, started well with birdies at the third and fifth.
His round unravelled from there with bogeys at the eighth, 15th and 18th, while double bogeying after finding the water at the par-three 11th. He sits on three-over.

McIlroy carded two birdies and two bogeys, but his round ended on a frustrating note, finding water off the tee to double bogey the last. That sunk him to six-over.
World number one Scottie Scheffler seized his first 54-hole lead in more than a year, taking a two-stroke edge into Sunday.
The 30-year-old American fired a two-under-par 68 to stand on 13-under after three rounds.
Four-time major winner Scheffler, who last led after 54 holes at last year’s British Open, will play Sunday’s final round alongside friend and compatriot Sam Burns, who shot a bogey-free 62 to share second with South Korean Im Sung-jae on 199.
