Aberdonian leads Challenge Tour event by two strokes at halfway

DAVID LAYS DOWN THE LAW IN FRANCE 

EUROPEAN TOUR COMMUNICATIPONS
 Aberdeen's David Law established a two-stroke lead at the halfway point of the Challenge Tour's Cordon Golf Open in France thanks to a one under par 69 in round two.
The 24 year old followed up his impressive opening 64 with three birdies and two bogeys at Golf Blue Green de Pléneuf Val André in Brittany to reach seven under overall, two clear of Spaniard Borja Virto Astudillo, Dane Mads Søggard, who both signed for 68s, and Frenchman Alexandre Widemann, who shone with a 65.
Law had to complete his first round – albeit one hole – early this morning, before a quick turnaround to start round two.
“Last night when we stopped I was about to putt on the 17th when the hooter sounded, and I holed the putt,” he said. “So it was a nice way to finish. This morning I made a good putt on the 18th for a 64 and felt great.
“Then I had an hour before going back on the course, so I had breakfast, hit a few balls and got ready to go again.
“Today was very similar but I didn’t hole so many putts, so that was probably the difference. My game was in good shape again, and I’m playing well off the tee. A few more putts could have dropped, but overall I’m happy.
“I’ll work on my putting before tomorrow and hopefully I’ll sink a few tomorrow.”
Twice winner of the Scottish amateur championship, Law, who has finished in the top ten in his last two appearances, is excited to lead the way heading into the weekend as he goes in search of his first Challenge Tour win.
“I’m feeling good,” he added. “I really like this course and it suits my game well. It’s in great condition, too. It’s not the longest course we play but it’s tricky and bad shots get punished. I’m playing well though and really looking forward to the weekend.”

Two players were still to complete round two when darkness called a halt to play on Friday evening.
