Shane Lowry has already holed the winning putt in his Foursome and Fourball matches at the 2016 EurAsia Cup and his positioning on the draw for the Sunday Singles could well see the Irishman make it three from three. Lowry teamed with England’s Danny Sullivan for a second day running winning 3 & 2 against the Asian Team duo of Prayad Marksaeng and Shingo Katayama.
