Chris Robb in joint fifth place in Morocco

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Chris Robb (Meldrum House) moved to within two shots of the quartet sharing the lead on seven-under-par 137 with a second-round 68 for a five-under tally of 139 in the Royal Golf Mohammedia Open in Morocco today. 
A former Scottish amateur champion from Banchory, Robb is tied fifth with a round to go.
After a slow start - bogeys at the second and fourth - Robb caught fire with six birdies over a span of nine holes from the seventh to the 15th.
Defending champion Paul Doherty, a past Scottish U18 boys' match-play champion, is six strokes off the lead after rounds of 72 and 71 for a share of 19th place on 143.
Edinburgh-based Duncan Stewart is joint 35th on 146 (72-74).
Tom Spencer withdrew after a first-round 83.
The four players in the lead on seven-under 137 are England's Zane Scotland (69-68), Jamie Elson (69-68) and Andrew Marshall (68-69) as well as South African Tyler Hogarty (69-68) 
Grantown-on-Spey's Duncan Stewart, now based in Edinburgh and playing out of Turnhouse Golf Club, did not do so well. A second-round 74 put him in joint 41st position with a total of 146.
