Donald fired seven birdies and no bogeys in a flawless second round at Nord-Eichenried, narrowly missing a 10ft eagle putt on the last to claim the outright lead.

The Ryder Cup star’s 12-under total of 132 left him alongside overnight joint leader Brett Rumford, with Simon Khan and Angel Cabrera a shot behind.
