Belgium's Thomas Detry remained in contention to claim an "absolute dream" first DP World Tour title on home soil at the halfway stage of the Soudal Open.

Detry won the World Cup of Golf with Thomas Pieters in 2018 but has yet to taste victory in an individual event, coming closest when he lost out in a three-man play-off for the Scottish Open two years ago.
