Lowry started on the back nine and opened with a birdie on 10, but slipped with back-to-back bogeys on the 13th and 14th holes. He birdied the 16th to recover briefly but another bogey on the next hole saw him make the turn on one-over.
He went to one-under after two more birdies on the first and third holes and parred the remaining holes on the front nine.
