France’s Ewan Le Tennier sits in fifth place, two strokes behind Nodari, and still very much in the mix heading into the final round.

Round 2 Player Quote

Alessandro Nodari: “It was a solid day. I knew the scoring wouldn’t be very low because of the conditions, the wind was very strong. I just tried to hit the ball straight like yesterday and felt comfortable off the tee. I missed a couple of short putts early on, but I stayed patient and kept going. The wind got even stronger later, so hitting fairways became key. I missed a few greens but chipped very well to save par. On hole 8, I drove the green and made eagle for the second time, and finishing with a birdie on my last hole was good. My driving and iron play worked very well today, the putting wasn’t the best part of my game, but overall I’m very satisfied.”
