Peter Lawrie joint fifth to lead Irish effort in Morocco

Peter Lawrie fired a round of 69 in the second of the Trophée Hassan II in Morocco to take a three way share of fifth after carding five birdies on the Royal Golf Dar es Salam.

Lawrie reached the 13th before any loss and was three under par by the halfway mark following his afternoon start.

The Dubliner then birdied the tenth to go five under and take a share of second place before the par four thirteenth took its toll. With another birdie at fifteen the run for home was level except for a slip up on the 16th.
