Thriston Lawrence takes lead at Omega European Masters

Defending champion Thriston Lawrence moved into the lead at the Omega European Masters following the second round of the tournament. Lawrence carded six consecutive birdies during his round to distance himself from the field. He secured his position atop the leaderboard with an effective par save from a bunker. This performance keeps Lawrence in contention to defend his title as he looks to emulate the late Seve Ballesteros. The tournament remains at the halfway stage in Switzerland. Play continues as the field moves into the next phase of the event.
