Bourdy leads French revolution in Portugal
Gregory Bourdy added a six-under-par 65 to the course record 63 he achieved on Thursday to take the outright lead at the Portuguese Open. The Frenchman who claimed his maiden victory at the Mallorca Classic in October out-shot Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano was two strokes off the pace.
The Spaniard ended on a 12-under 130 after firing a second-round 66.
Last week's Andalucia Open champion Thomas Levet (64), bidding for back-to-back wins, further boosted the French challenge on 131 while Briton Simon Khan (67) was fourth on 132.
Another Frenchman, former Portuguese Open champion Jean-Francois Remesy, tied the course record set by first-round leaders Bourdy and holder Pablo Martin of Spain to share fifth place on 133 with British trio Steve Webster, Simon Dyson and Oliver Fisher.
Martin stalled with a 71 for 134 as Bourdy led a French title charge.
