Stewar leads Englishman James Maw by three strokes after both carded second-round 68s, five under par on the Morgans Course. Stewart had record an eight-under-par opening round on Wednesday and went low again today, despite two bogeys on the back nine. He opened with five pars before embarking on a run of three consecutive birdies from the par-four sixth. A bogey at 11 set him back a shot but a birdie at 12 and an eagle at the par-four 13th quickly made amends. His second bogey was made at the 14th but a three at 15 cancelled that out immediately and he negotiated his final three holes of the round to par. A cut to the leading 50 players has now been made.
