Shane Lowry is just one stroke behind the leader Kevin Mitchell after an impressive second round at the Truist Championship. Lowry carded a 65, the lowest score of the day, to finish at 11 under par on the Wissahickon Course at the Philadelphia Cricket Club. His round included six birdies, demonstrating his consistency and resilience in soggy conditions.

Mitchell, who led after the first round with a stunning 61, managed a 67 in the second round, including five birdies and two bogeys. Despite the challenging weather, both players have shown exceptional form.

Lowry, the 2019 Open Champion, commented on his performance, saying, "There's a consistency to my whole game that has been very good. I think I'm just maturing as a golfer, taking the rough with the smooth, the good days taking them well and the bad days working through them." He also downplayed the idea that the damp conditions favored him, adding, "Everyone says that to me every day when it rains! I live in South Florida. I think I'm able to handle them probably better than a few people, but I don't particularly like or enjoy going out and playing in these conditions."

Rory McIlroy, the defending champion and a four-time winner of this event, had a mixed round with six birdies and three bogeys, finishing at 7 under par. McIlroy, who recently completed a career Grand Slam with his victory at the Masters, reflected on his performance, saying, "I felt like today was another sort of scrappy one. I made what I feel are some uncharacteristic mistakes compared to how I've played the majority of the year. So just got to try to iron that out over the next couple of days, try to shoot a couple of scores without as many bogeys on the card."

Other notable performances include Tommy Fleetwood, who carded a second consecutive 68 to finish at 4 under par, while Justin Rose struggled with a 77, leaving him at 7 over par.

The Truist Championship continues to deliver thrilling golf, with the leaderboard tightly packed and several top players in contention. The final rounds promise more excitement as the players battle for the title.
