Lawrie steps up dunhill challenge

Ireland’s Peter Lawrie made a good start to the second round of the dunhill Championship, carding four birdies on the front nine holes to move into second place.

Lawrie – who was solid on a wet opening day, shooting a 68 – took advantage of dry conditions on Friday and moved to within just one shot of new leader Dane Mads Vibe-Hastrup, who picked up four shots to move to nine-under.
