Shane Lowry Leads Stacked Field at Arnold Palmer Invitational

The Irishman holds a two-shot lead heading into the weekend, with major champions in close pursuit at Bay Hill.

Shane Lowry leads the Arnold Palmer Invitational at 8-under par after two rounds, showcasing strong iron play and resilience on a challenging course.
The leaderboard features seven major champions, including Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa, and Jason Day, all within striking distance of the lead.
Friday's second round saw improved scoring conditions, with Jason Day carding a tournament-low 64 to climb into contention.
Several top players, including Viktor Hovland, Max Homa, and Cameron Young, missed the cut due to struggles with Bay Hill's demanding layout.
The weekend promises intense competition, with a $20 million purse and a $4 million top prize attracting a world-class field.
