McLEARY, WHITEFORD AND RAMSAY MISS CUT

SCOTT JAMIESON DROPS BACK  AT 

LAGUNA WITH A 71, FOUR OFF PACE

REPORT FROM EUROPEAN TOUR COMMUNICATIOS
Thailand’s Panuphol Pittayarat birdied the final hole of his second round to take the halfway lead at The Championship at Laguna National, ahead of Chilean Felipe Aguilar, Australian Scott Hend and American David Lipsky.
Pittayarat maintained his one-shot overnight cushion with a four under par round of 68 to move to 13 under par for the European Tour tournament at Laguna National Golf and Country.
Aguilar leads the European Tour challenge following a round of 67 and he is joined on 12 under par by Lipsky, whose superb up and down on the last saved par for a 68, and Hend who posted eight birdies in an impressive 65, the low round of the day.
Denmark’s Anders Hansen, the three-time European Tour champion who is playing in his fourth tournament back after wrist surgery, is in a group of three players a further shot back on 11 under par. 
Scott Jamieson dropped back to joint 10th with a 71 for nine-under 135, one ahead of fellow Scot Marc Warren who had 67.
Jamie McLeary (146), Peter Whiteford (148) and Richie Ramsay (149) missed the cut by a big margin. Chris Doak retired.
