Shane Lowry two off the lead at the BMW Championship

Shane Lowry shot a five-under-par 66 for a share of third place in the clubhouse after the opening round of the BMW Championship, with Keegan Bradley leading the way after his 64.

Rory McIlroy is currently out on the course and was four under at the turn. Seamus Power is level after his 71

The highlight for Lowry was an eagle on 14; this along with birdies on 3, 10, 12, 17 had him set up for a good finish. However a bogey at the last took some of the gloss off his round at the Wilmington Country Club.

Bradley, on seven under is a shot clear of Adam Scott, with Harold Varner, Justin Thomas, Russell Henley the others currently sharing third spot.
