Swede maintains challenge

Nobody was happier about the Jazztel Spanish Open being held for the first time at San Roque this week than Swede Peter Gustafsson and it showed again today as the 28-year-old continued to challenge for the lead.

Last November Gustafsson won the European tour qualifying school at the Costa del Sol course and on his return yesterday a two-under-par 70 was good enough to put him in a seven-way tie for top spot.
