GLASGOW MAN IS SHARING 11th PLACE
ANDREW McARTHUR LEADING SCOT
IN CHINA CHALLENGE
EUROPEAN TOUR COMMUNICATIONS
Englishmen William Harrold and Jason Palmer lead the way at ten under par atop a congested Foshan Open leaderboard in China
They are a shot clear of Germany's Bernd Ritthammer, who is alone in third place less than one week on from his podium finish in Chongqing, while a further four players are queued up behind in a tie for fourth after 36 holes of the second event in the European Challenge Tour's Final Swing.
As part of that quality quartet in close attendance are another three Englishmen – Jason Barnes, Daniel Gaunt and Chris Hanson – while Pelle Edberg of Sweden rounds out the group on eight under.
Overnight leader Palmer did not quite pick up where he left off on Friday morning, but he did card six birdies to counter three dropped shots and record a 69, on a day when he was not quite on his best form at Foshan Golf Club.
“I’m pretty pleased with that as it wasn’t all plain sailing today,” said the 30 year old from Kirby Muxloe in his native East Midlands.
“I didn’t feel as comfortable as I did yesterday with my swing, so I probably need to hit the range for 30 minutes to find what I was doing so well yesterday.
Ritthammer is once again in position to move up the Rankings after a 69 in the second round propelled him to within one of the lead, and more importantly, within touching distance of a maiden Challenge Tour title at the halfway stage.
The German is the best of the rest with two rounds to go, but those behind have plenty to play for after some impressive form of their own – namely Barnes (70), Edberg (66), Gaunt (69) and Hanson (68).
Overnight leader Ricardo Gouveia had been alongside Palmer after 18 holes, and while he might have managed to get over his jetlag, he wasn’t quite able to match his heroics of day one after a level par score.
There are also 11 home grown players who have qualified for the final 36 holes, with Ding-feng Liang the best of those, having carded rounds of 66 and 72 to finish six under par and in a tie for 11th place heading into the weekend.
Andrew McArthur (68-70 for 138) is the leading Scot in joint 11th place. Next come George Murray (140) and David Law (143).
The cut fell at 145 and Scots who missed it were Wallace Booth (146) and Scott Henry (148)
