Shane Lowry and Rory McIlroy remain in the hunt heading into the weekend at the Memorial Tournament in Ohio.

Shane Lowry and Rory McIlroy remain in the hunt heading into the weekend at the Memorial Tournament in Ohio despite both enduring difficult second rounds.

Lowry sits on one-under par after carding a one-over 73, a troublesome back nine saw him get two double bogeys, which saw him slip back down the leaderboard.

McIlroy is a shot back on level terms, after a two-over 72.

The Northern Irishman also struggled on the closing stretch, with a double bogey and two further dropped shots undoing much of his earlier good work.

American J.T. Poston leads the tournament after producing an impressive seven-under 65 in challenging conditions.
