Barham leads way as Olazabal misses cut

JOSE MARIA OLAZABAL and Nick Dougherty were among those to miss the halfway cut as England’s Benn Barham retained the lead at the Austrian Open in Vienna.

Barham’s rounds of 63 and 66 took him to 13 under par, his 129 total equalling the lowest of the European Tour season.

He goes into the weekend two in front of 2007 winner Richard Green, the Australian left-hander also returning a five-under 66 in the second round, and three ahead of Scotland’s Scott Drummond (68).
