McDowell stays in contention in Dominican Republic

Portrush golfer four shots behind leader in Corales Puntacana Championship

Graeme McDowell: 'It dawned on me on the sixth tee that I hadn't made a bogey yet and subsequently I made a bogey right away. It's amazing how the brain works.'

Graeme McDowell lies four shots off the lead at the halfway stage of the Corales Puntacana Championship as he chases a second victory in the Dominican Republic.

McDowell, who won the title in 2019, carded a second consecutive 68 to reach eight under par, with American Ben Martin the man to catch on 12 under following back-to-back rounds of 66.
