Lowry would roll that putt in to move to -8 and he picked up one more shot down the closing stretch to card a joint best of the day score of 63. That topped his playing partners' rounds of 68 (for Patrick Reed) and 66 (Paul Casey).
That two-round total of -9 puts Lowry one off the lead heading into the final two rounds. There is a four-way tie for the outright lead, with Talor Gooch, Bill Horschel, Tom Hoge and Si Woo Kim all on -10.
Lowry's sights are firmly set on the Wyndham Championship, with its' prize purse of $6.4 million and winners' cheque of $1.15m, but he has one eye on making the final few tournaments of the FedEx playoffs. He is 131st in the standings right now and only the top 125 make it to the playoff finalé. Following his round, he told Sky Sports:
"Obviously I'm outside the FedExCup number and outside of Boston next week, so I need to keep playing some good golf and try and polish off a good week this week and hopefully make it into next week then." "I feel like my golf has been all right over the last couple of months," he added. "Last week at the PGA on Sunday, I just feel like I didn't get anything out of my game and ended up having a really bad finish. So hopefully I can get rewarded for some good golf this weekend and who knows what will happen."Such was the low scoring in Greensboro that -2 was the cut mark, meaning the likes of Jim Furyk, Charl Schwartzel, Matt Wallace and Graeme McDowell all missed out. Seamus Power (-3) made the cut with the same two-round total as a battling Jordan Spieth.
