GOLF
Shane Lowry has kicked on from yesterday's brilliant opening round at the BMW Championship, but Matthew Fitzpatrick is the man to catch at Wentworth.
Lowry carded an immaculate seven under par round of 65 this afternoon, bringing him to 12 under par in total.
However, England's Fitzpatrick looks set to better than score, he's two clear at the moment on 14 under, approaching the end of his round.
The two other Irish members of the field are out on the course.
Padraig Harrington remains level par, while Graeme Mcowell is one over.
