Stefano Pitoni holds firm in the rain

Second round is now finally completed after 2 days and half and Italy’s Stefano Pitoni kept his leadership. He scored yesterday morning back to back 64 to lead at -12 the Pinetina Open. The second had been suspended yesterday in the middle of the afternoon and could only resume this morning.

England’s Tom Shadbolt signed for the best score of the week, 61 to be 2 shots back. His fellow countryman, Matt Wallace, leader of the Alps Tour order of merit and author of a stunning 59 a few weeks back was his biggest supporter on social media as Shalbolt turned first nine -6.

Swiss Luca Galliano, first round co-leader, managed to shot 2 under and is third on his own heading to the last round. The cut felt at -1 and the last round is to be played this afternoon.
