The weather was not as bad as announced. Players enjoyed a day without wind but had to unfold umbrellas a couple of times. Greens got softer and after 2 hours, leaderboard got more and more red thanks to birdies. The leader at the club house as morning session is completed was Marco Crespi. Italian player said as a joke that he doesn’t want to let the Englishman with no challenger.
Chris Paisley had a long day to finally holed 2 birdies on the last 3 holes and kept his lead.

“I did not play very well so I am happy I still lead. I putted well but I was far from the pins today as I missed the fairways a couple of time. I finished well with a birdy on the 7th, holed more than one meter and I hit driver on the 9th, I was closed to the green and I holed 3 meters to sign for 70.”

David Antonelli from France fired 64, a great card with no dropped shot and had a big smile at the recording area.

“I do not realize. My putter was on fire today. I holed from everywhere. More seriously, I had great days practising last week with Julien Fichot, my mental coach and with Patrice Amadieu, technical coach. We had bicycle in the morning and golf in the afternoon. I felt better with my routine as we worked well on it and I felt less under pressure during round.”

Last but not least, France’s Laurent Poncelet had the biggest come back. He had shot a poor 80 with a lack of birdy during first round. He shot 66 to make the cut, minus 6 with no bogey and said confidence came back thanks to his local caddy.

The cut is fixed at +2.
