Bjorn and Del Moral surge as McGrane stays in Estoril hunt

THOMAS BJORN and Carlos Del Moral both shot rounds of 65 to share a two-shot lead at the top of the Estoril Open leaderboard at the end of the second day.

Ireland’s Damien McGrane and Luke Goddard shared the lead at the halfway stage yesterday and while McGrane is still in with a shout tied in third with English pair Steve Webster and Robert Coles, Goddard slipped to joint 16th.

Bjorn hit eight birdies to race to 13 under with a hole to play but the Dane then bogeyed the par five last to join Del Moral on 12 under.
