Wood leads as bogey-free run continues in Algarve

Chris Wood extended his lead at the Rolear Algarve Classic with a second consecutive bogey-free round, carding a four-under-par 68 on Wednesday at Amendoeira Golf Resort’s O’Connor Course to move to 11-under-par and open up a one-shot advantage heading into final round.

The Englishman's flawless 36-hole display - carding birdies on the second, ninth, 11th and 16th in his second round - has seen him yet to blemish his scorecard all tournament, a remarkable feat that puts him in pole position to claim his first Mena Golf Tour title.

“I didn’t drop a shot all day. It was a bit harder today though,” said Wood. “I said to Lloydy on the third green I wasn't quite as sharp as I felt yesterday mentally. That's the good thing about having him here - it’s easy to share those thoughts. Then you can talk about it and come up with a solution. So, we did a good job managing that today and really nice to go another round bogey-free.”
