Defending champion David Law closed to within three shots of the lead with a flawless four-under--par second round of 69 in the German PGA's Developmental Tour's Dar Es Salam Open at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam, Rabat in Morocco today.
Law made a brilliant start at the 10th hole on Day 2. He got an eagle 3 at the long 10th to put himself in the mood for the kind of round he needed to give himself a chance of a repeat victory.
He went on to get a birdie 2 at the short 11th and turned in three-under 34.
On his inward journey - the outward half of the Red Course - the Aberdonian, who plays out of the Paul Lawrie Golf Centre, had eight solid pars and a birdie 3 at the eighth for one-under 35.
Coupled with his opening par round of 73, Law will start the final round on four-under-par 142, three shots behind the Swiss leader Damian Ulrich who scored 72-67 for seven-under 139.
Law's team-mate Philip McLean from Peterhead missed the cut by three shots with rounds of 78 and 75 for 153. He had 15 pars, no birdies and two bogeys.
