"I fought really hard today, didn't do myself any favours with starting out bogeying the second hole. Especially where the pin was today, it's a decent chance for birdie. "But like I said, I'm pretty happy where I'm sitting now. I don't think the leaders are going to go too far away. Hopefully I can go out and do something half decent tomorrow and give myself half a chance on Sunday."Most of Lowry's dramas arrived at Amen Corner - Augusta National's 11th, 12th and 13th holes. The Offaly man bogeyed 11, took a double bogey five on the next before rebounding with a birdie on 13. Lowry said:
"It's brutal. 11 is brutal. And for a short hole 12 is just such a tough tee shot. I tried to hit my 9‑iron too hard, and tried to keep it down too much, but that's just the way it is. I didn't beat myself up too much. "I got a birdie on the next, I gave myself a chance on 16. And didn't really come in, bogeyed the last, which was a bit disappointing."Lowry goes out at 2pm [local time] with highly-rated amateur Bryson DeChambeau. Spieth, who leads on -4, goes out with Rory McIlroy [-3] 50 minutes later.
