Horrendous weather scatters field at Wolseley for second round of Volopa Irish Challenge

The wind and rain throughout yesterday’s play in Co Carlow ruined scorecards from the top of the leaderboard down, leaving only four of the 22 Irish players on the right side of the halfway cut of this European Challenge Tour event.
Englishman Sam Walker lost his 18-hole lead after dropping three strokes to three under par after a second-round 75, usurped by compatriot Stiggy Hodgson, whose two-under 70 moved him up to four under and was one of the rare glints of sunshine on an otherwise miserable day.
