Two birdies in his last three holes saw Shane Lowry finish in a tie for fourth after a terrific second round at Augusta National. Defending Masters champion Rory McIlroy thrilled the course with a seven-under-par 65 to move to a 12-under-par lead. “Look, I'm in a nice position,” said Lowry. I felt like I did a lot of good things and my attitude was great. "But yeah, I have a late tee time on Saturday afternoon is always a nice place to be in.”
