Tranlate this title Jon Rahm runs out of options in the Irish Open in spanish

Ireland’s Shane Lowry moved a step closer to winning his second Irish Open (part of the DP World Tour) this Saturday by retaining the lead at the end of the third round, holding a four-stroke advantage over Denmark’s Jacob Skov Olesen, who had managed to tie for the lead midway through the round.

Rahm, results

The Spanish players had an underwhelming day and saw their chances of victory slip away. Jon Rahm shot a +2, finishing at -1 overall after carding three bogeys in the final eight holes. Trailing him were Sergio García (at par), Pablo Larrazábal (+1), and Rafa Cabrera Bello and Eugenio Chacarra (+2).

Lowry—39 years old and ranked 53rd in the world—completed the round in 65 strokes (five under par) for a total of -16. He delighted the local crowd gathered at the Trump International Golf Links & Hotel in Doonbeg, in the country’s southwest. The venue is owned by U.S. President Donald Trump, who watched part of the day’s play after arriving at the course by helicopter following a visit to Dublin.

After a superb first half of the round—featuring an eagle and three birdies—Olesen managed to tie for the lead, seemingly setting the stage for a thrilling tournament finish. However, the Dane’s momentum faded—unlike Lowry’s—and he failed to record a single birdie over the final nine holes, instead closing his round with a bogey. MORE FROM MARCA

The Irishman aims to secure his second title at his home open, having previously won as a 22-year-old amateur in 2008—making him one of the few players to win a European Tour event while still an amateur.
Chile’s Joaquín Niemann is still hanging in there, trailing Lowry by seven strokes, while England’s Tom McKibbin and Portugal’s Daniel Rodrigues are tied for fourth (-7), effectively out of contention.
