Fraser holds halfway lead in Australia

Marcus Fraser holds a two-stroke lead at the Australian PGA Championship following a second-round 65 but a host of big names, including Bubba Watson, Robert Allenby and Adam Scott, remain in contention at Coolum.

With seven birdies in a fine effort, Fraser capitalised on favourable conditions to move to 11 under par and two ahead of American Watson, who led the field by two shots at the turn before stumbling on the back nine to eventually settle for a four-under 68.
