Shane Lowry makes cut at RBC Heritage but Seamus Power bows out

A second round 69 was enough to ensure Shane Lowry made the cut for the weekend at the RBC Heritage in South Carolina.

The Offaly man had carded a 70 in Thursday's opening round but went one better a day later to move up to three under, two shots inside the cut mark.

However, Seamus Power won't be involved in the third round onwards despite a solid 72, with the Waterford native's first-round 77 ultimately proving costly.

Jimmy Walker leads the way heading into the weekend with a second consecutive 65 that leaves him on 12 under, three shots clear of the trio of Justin Rose (67), world number two Scottie Scheffler (65) and Xander Schauffele (66).

Reigning Masters champion Jon Rahm is tied for 18th on six under after a seven-under 64.

Lowry birdied three of his first six holes, picking up shots on two, five and six with the only blemish on the front nine coming on the par-4 third.

A bogey on 12 was a setback but he rebounded with a birdie on 18.

Meanwhile, a birdie on 10 for Power gave him a good start but three bogeys set him back before he sank a putt on the fifth.
