NORWEGIAN CHALLENGE TOURNAMENT NEAR OSLO

FLORIAN FRITSCH MAINTAINS LEAD 

ON 13-UNDER 131
 

EUROPEAN TOUR COMMUNICATIONS
Florian Fritsch continued his imperious form on day two of the Norwegian Challenge with a round of 67 for a 13 under par aggregate of 131.
The German remains one stroke ahead of France’s Benjamin Hebert after dropping just one shot in 36 holes at Miklagard Golf Club, on the outskirts of the Norwegian capital Oslo.
Fritsch picked up where he left off on the opening day with back-to-back birdies from the first hole, before adding a further gain at the fifth to turn in 33 shots.
After three more birdies on the back nine, Fritsch appeared to be running away with the tournament but a three-putt bogey on the 17th green has given some hope to the rest of the field.
He said: “My long game was very good again today. I managed to stay out of trouble off the tee and hit a lot of iron shots close, so it added up to another good day.

" I didn’t hole any long putts but made six good birdie putts from inside ten feet, so that was pleasing.
“It felt like a good 67 today – there was nothing scrappy or lucky about it, and I was never in any real danger. So I’m in a good place at the moment, but I won’t be getting ahead of myself because I know how quickly things can turn around in this game.”
Hebert is acutely aware of the potential pitfalls of leading, having surrendered a three-shot advantage on the final day in Azerbaijan last week.
But as soon as he arrived in Kløfta, the Brive resident felt utterly at ease and he again showed his liking for the Robert Trent Jones Jnr layout with five birdies.

Scot George Murray's second-round 65 was the joint best of the day but, on 140 alongside compatriot Duncan Stewart, the Anstruther man is nine shots off the pace
