Kobori Shares Lead in $16m Abu Dhabi Championship
Lowry used a special exemption as a Ryder Cup member to shoot a 64 and share the lead with four others at the penultimate DP World Tour event.
- On Thursday, Shane Lowry shot an opening round eight-under-par 64 at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship at Yas Links to share the lead.
- Lowry's Ryder Cup status earned him a special exemption into the limited field despite being 112th on the Race to Dubai and the field limited to the leading 70 on the order of merit.
- Lowry built his 64 by matching two nines of 32 and recording nine birdies with one bogey from holes seven through 14.
- On the leaderboard, Shane Lowry moved into a five-way share of the lead alongside Tommy Fleetwood, Richard Sterne, Kazuma Kobori and Adrien Saddier, while Rory McIlroy opened with a 68 and sits four shots off.
- Lowry's strong late-season form is evident as the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship is the penultimate DP World Tour event before the Tour Championship in Dubai next week, and Lowry, 2019 champion and recent third-place finisher in India, continues momentum.
