EGYPT BEHIND LEADER UZZELL

By COLIN FARQUHARSON

Glenbervie's Fraser Moore has taken over the mantle of leading Scot after two rounds of the Med Tour 54-hole tournament at the Jack Nicklaus-designed Palm Hills Course, Cairo in Egypt.

Moore shaved five shots off his opening 76 and a 71 for three-over-par 147 put him in tied sixth place behind the leader by five strokes, England's Steven Uzzell (68-71 for 139).

Ben Craggs' pair of 75s for 150 sees him climb to joint 15thj place.

Conor O'Neill has slipped from top Scot overnight to No. 3 with rounds of 74 and 77 for 151 and a share of 17th place.
