Six golfers, including former Ryder Cup players Barry Lane and Jarmo Sandelin, share fifth place on five under par.   The third and final round of the Senior Italian Open will be played as a U-draw, with players starting from the first and tenth tees at 08:15, due to the threat of inclement weather in the region.   Scores after round two: Par 144 (2x72 137 P Fowler (Australia 69 68, C Dennis (USA) 67 70  138 S Tinning (Denmark) 69 69, C Williams (SAf) 70 68 139 G Marks (Eng) 67 72, B Lane (Eng) 72 67, J Sandelin (Swe) 69 70, R Chapman (Eng) 70 69, A Bossert (Switz) 68 71, S Dodd (Wales) 71 68 140 A Franco (Paraguay) 68 72, C Suneson (Spn) 69 71, B McGovern (Ire) 71 69 141 J Kingston (SAf) 71 70, G Brand Jnr (Sco) 67 74, M Farry (Fra) 69 72, P Golding (Eng) 71 70, 142 M Harwood (Australia) 72 70, A Oldcorn (Sco) 69 73, T Thelen (USA) 68 74, 143 M Martin (Esp) 71 72, G Orr (Sco) 73 70, S Luna (Spn) 73 70, G Emerson (Eng) 70 73, J Carriles (Spn) 72 71, 144 P Wesselingh (Eng) 74 70, R Rafferty (Nir) 69 75, M Atlevi (Swe) 71 73, D Gilford (Eng) 72 72, A Sherborne (Eng) 71 73, C Rocca (Ita) 72 72, C Mason (Eng) 73 71, G Wolstenholme (Eng) 70 74, 145 B Longmuir (Sco) 75 70, B Conser (USA) 74 71, L Zhang (China) 70 75, M Mouland (Wales) 75 70, 146 Z Martinez (USA) 77 69, P Wilson (Eng) 73 73, 147 C Monasterio (Arg) 74 73, J Rivero (Spn) 72 75, P Eales (Eng) 77 70, S Brown (Eng) 71 76, G Rusnak (USA) 72 75, M Mackenzie (Eng) 74 73 148 G Turner (Nzl) 74 74  149 J Sallat (Fra) 74 75 150 P Linhart (Spn) 78 72  151 G Brand (Eng) 77 74  153 P Walton (Ire) 77 76, S Richardson (Eng) 76 77, 154 N Job (Eng) 76 78 155 M Bianco (Ita) 79 76  158 C Acutis (Ita) 80 78  162 L Vento (am) (Ita) 81 81, M Franco (am) (Ita) 85 77, G Airaga (am) (Ita) 79 83
