McGrane leads by one in Morocco

Damien McGrane and Phillip Price led the way as the second round of the Trophee Hassan II in Morocco reached its delayed conclusion this morning.

High winds yesterday meant five and a half hours’ play was lost on day two, forcing many of the competitors back onto the course to complete their second rounds today.

Irishman McGrane, who shot an opening 65, kept his head after the delay, hitting four birdies over the remaining 13 holes of his round to move to 11 under par, a stroke clear of Welshman Price.

Price, who followed up his opening 68 with a 66, was among those to complete their rounds yesterday.

Spain’s Jose Manuel Lara sits in third place on nine under, while Joel Sjoholm of Sweden and Holland’s Joost Luiten were in a tie for fourth on eight under.
