Marcel Schneider backed up his opening 63 with a bogey-free 4-under 66 to move to 11-under and take a two-shot lead at the Austrian Alpine Open presented by SalzburgerLand.
“My plan was to continue what I did yesterday, and that worked out well,” said Schneider.
“I have to say, off the tee I wasn’t as strong as yesterday. But I managed well on the holes where I missed the fairways to come out with par, so I didn’t drop a shot. Overall, super happy.
“Even struggling a bit off the tee, I was never in big trouble. But out of the semi-rough you could easily miss a green and not make up and down. I’m happy with the short game and shots into the green.
“It’s great having the support. Playing close to home is always nice. I love being in Austria as well. I like that.”
Fellow German Nicolai von Dellingshausen made one bogey to close with his own 66 and lies in second place at 9-under.
England’s Callum Tarren signed for a bogey-free 63 to move into third place at 8-under.
Tied in fourth place at 7-under are South African Jayden Schaper who made two bogeys for a 66 and New Zealand’s Daniel Hillier whose 67 featured an eagle at the par-5 18th as well as five birdies, one bogey and one double bogey at the par-3 7th.
