Shane Lowry has made a storming start to the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

The Offaly man is tied for the lead with world No 4 Rickie Fowler after the first round of the PGA event.

The duo are on 6-under, ahead of a field including the likes of Phil Mickelson, Bubba Watson (both 2-under) and Webb Simpson (3-under).

Lowry has made birdies from:
- 28 feet
- 30 feet
- 25 feet
- 26 feet

The latter has given him the lead. #QuickHits https://t.co/pYJrrVjRVX
