Two bogeys followed by a double bogey on the penultimate hole put it ahead of Marcus Kinhult, who walked four during par on the first day.

Kinhult's 17th strike ended up in the water and he needed five strokes to end the par 3 hole.

- We had to wait a long time for the ball in front, which was slow. But I hit it badly simply, had I hit the ball that I thought it would have been no problem, says Marcus Kinhult to Viasat Golf according to DN.

The more qualified Swede in the starting field - Henrik Stenson - is worse off. The 43-year-old is divided 26th. However, it is a pickup from the first day, when Stenson was split 41st after going around on 74 strokes, two over par. Now there were 70 strokes, two under par.

Alone at the top for this weekend's game is Mike Lorenzo-Vera. The Frenchman failed to follow up his round of success yesterday, 63 strokes, nine under par, but still leads with three strokes ahead of Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy and Spaniard Jon Rahm.

Austrian Bernd Wiesberger, who leads Race to Dubai ahead of the finals, is in 13th place.
