Shane Lowry makes back-to-back eagles at 150th Open

Shane Lowry's famed wedge skills had the crowds in raptures on day three of the The 150th Open Championship as the Irishman made back-to-back eagle twos on the ninth and tenth at St Andrews.

The 2019 Champion had 43 yards to the pin after his drive at the ninth but had found the left rough and looked to have a tough task ahead.

Then he did this.

He had just three yards further to go on the tenth but this time he was in the fairway - you know the rest.

"I hit a poor tee-shot on nine and got a pretty good break and just hit a lovely pitch," he said. "It was a nice lie in the rough and I could be fairly aggressive. I knew it was going to spin and hit a lovely shot.

"And on 10 I hit a great drive and had a straightforward enough pitch. But it was a tricky pin. I was just trying to get as close as I could and it just came out perfect and went in. 

"It was pretty cool and it was good fun when those two went in."
