SHANE LOWRY HAS slipped back down the leaderboard after a mixed second round at the Open de España.
Lowry, who opened with a 70, has added a 71 to leave him in a share of 35th place on one-under heading into the weekend. Scotland’s Forrest Grant currently leads on nine-under at the Real Club de Campo Villa de Madrid.
The Irish Open champion bogeyed the second but recovered with a birdie on the fifth hole. His back nine started with back-to-back bogeys at 10 and 11 followed by three birdies between the 13th and 16th holes before closing out with a fourth bogey at the 18th.
One highlight from his round was this pressure putt for par at the eighth.
