Gavin Green, results
With a phenomenal 63-stroke round, the best recorded in the tournament to date, Green moved up to a score of -14.
18 holes perfect by the Malaysian, seasoned with 5 birdies and two eagles that allow him to enter the last two days with a three-stroke advantage over the nearest pursuers. Second position shared by the Belgian Thomas Pieters, the German Marcel Schneider and the English Richard Mansell.
For them the score is -11 with which they remain largely in the race to win the title. Fifth place for the German Maximilian Kieffer and the South African Louis de Jager, leader after the first 18 holes. The excellent tournament of Renato Paratore continues and manages to maintain the seventh place reached after the first round.
After yesterday’s -5 comes another excellent lap in -4 that allows the Roman to remain at high altitude with a total score of -9. Nino Bertasio, 27th at -5, and Andrea Pavan, 48th at -3 also pass the cut. On the other hand, Lorenzo Gagli, very subdued, was eliminated.
