Paul O'Hara sharing fourth place in Morocco

Motherwell's rookie pro Paul O'Hara stayed in contention with second-round 70 (two under par) for a 36-hole tally of one-under-par 143 and a share of fourth place with one round to go in the Renault EPD Tour's Samanah Classic at Samanah Country Club, Marrakesh in Morocco today.
O'Hara started badly with bogeys at the first and second but then came a purple patch of birdies at the fourth, long fifth, seventh, long ninth (out in 34) and the long 12th. He then parred the 13th to the 17th inclusive before finishing with a bogey at the 18th for 36 home.
Germany's Maximilian Tschinkel leads after a great second-round 66 for a running total of 140 and a two-shot lead from compatriot Benjamin Miarka (73-69) and England's Grant Jackson (72-70).
