Fisher and Karlsson take advantage in Portugal Masters

England’s Ross Fisher and Order of Merit leader Robert Karlsson were left battling for the lead at the Portugal Masters today as Welshman Stuart Manley and former Open champion Paul Lawrie did their own versions of the good, the bad and the ugly.

Manley, 174th on the money list and 575th in the world, had resumed his search for not only his first European Tour victory but also his first top-10 finish with a one-stroke lead.
