Shane Lowry missed the cut at the Open de Espana with a dropped shot on the 16th hole proving costly for the Ryder Cup hero, while Tom McKibbin sits three shots off leader Marco Penge.<\/p>\n

Needing to birdie one of the final two holes, the Offaly man couldn’t find a putt and won\u2019t feature at the weekend.<\/p>\n

Lowry, who carded a 75 on day one, shot a three-under-par 68 and finished one shot off the cut mark at Club de Campo in Madrid.<\/p>\n

McKibbon shot a six-under-par 65 that included a bogey, five birdies and an eagle to tie for 11th place.<\/p>\n

FULL LEADERBOARD<\/a><\/p>\n

England\u2019s Penge took the halfway lead and then claimed he was only playing at “seven out of 10”.<\/p>\n

Four birdies, including the final two holes, in a bogey-free 67 took Penge to nine under, one shot ahead of Jeff Winther, Joel Girrbach and Aaron Cockerill.<\/p>\n

“Very patient day, nice to have a bogey-free round,” said Penge. “I played pretty solid, still a couple of bits there that I can improve on, but all in all it was a steady round of golf.<\/p>\n

“I had a good range session after my round yesterday so today was slightly better \u2013 still probably only about a seven out of 10 but hopefully I can play some better golf over the weekend.”<\/p>\n

Dane Winther\u2019s 64 shared the honours for the lowest round of the day with Sweden\u2019s Joakim Lagergren, who was in a group of six players at seven under that also featured England\u2019s Dan Brown and American Ryder Cup veteran Patrick Reed.<\/p>\n

Dan Bradbury and Andrew Wilson are at six under, while home favourite and three-time champion Jon Rahm was four under after a 66.<\/p>\n
