Motherwell's Ross Kellett has taken over the as the lead Scot with a 70 for 142. He's just inside the top 20 - joint 17th - but nine shots behind the new leader with an appropriate name, Jesus Legarrea (Spain) who certainly had some divine inspiration with a second-round, nine-under-par 63 for 11-under 133. He has surged three ahead of Walker Cup man Jack Senior from Lancashire. Jack shot another 68 for 136. Philip McLean from Peterhead made the cut with nothing to spare with a 74 for 146.   ALPS TOUR - Servizitalia Lignano Open Golf Club Lignano, Italy LEADING SECOND-ROUND TOTALS Par 144 (2x72) 133 Jesue Legarrea (Spa) 70 63. 136 Jack Senior (Eng) 68 68 139 Niccolo Quintarelli (Ita) 70 68, Leo Astl (Aut) 69 70.
