Shane Lowry holds a share of the lead heading into the weekend at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.<\/p>\n
Lowry birdied the 18th hole to sign for a one-under-par 71, which left him in a six-way tie for the lead in Orlando.<\/p>\n
The Irishman, who had led by a shot after posting a 66 on Thursday, picked up five birdies in total but dropped four shots in his second round.<\/p>\n

He was caught on seven under by Americans Scottie Scheffler, Wyndham Clark, Brian Harman and Russell Henley, as well as Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama.<\/p>\n
World No 1 Scheffler was level par after a bogey on the 11th hole, but an eagle at the par-five 12th and a hat-trick of birdies starting from the 15th vaulted him into contention.<\/p>\n
Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy is six shots back after posting a two-under 70.<\/p>\n
But England’s Tommy Fleetwood missed the cut after a wretched day. He found water three times on the par-five sixth for a quintuple-bogey 10, and ended his round eight over par.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
