The weather conditions were absolutely perfect.
The PIF Saudi International and the players took full advantage
of really low scoring in round two.
Graham McDowell, a former champion, was particularly pleased with his 65,
which included this hole out Eagle two at the third.
He finishes on three under good enough to make the cut.
John Catlin, the Asian to order of merit champion with this at 15.
Beautifully played a 69 today for Catlin.
He's on five under par.
He could yet win the International Series.
Sadam Khalkhan-Janup, despite this birdie putt at 12,
had a disappointing day.
The overnight leader had to settle for a 73 and he's on five under.
Tyrell Hatton, a little disappointed, too, on his final hole, the ninth.
Not quite able to make the birdie, but that was for a 62.
He's up there at ten under par.
Also in ten under is the U.S.
Jason Kokrek.
Birdie putt at the seventh, a 66 today for Kokrek.
But four players are tied for the lead at 11 under par,
among them Logan McAllister, a Confery Tour player from Oklahoma.
Lovely birdie at the 18th and a round of 63 without a bogey on the card.
No bogeys either for Cam Smith, this a birdie at the first.
He shot 64.
And also right up there amongst that group of four who lead the tournament
are Joaquin Niemann, a birdie putt at the fourth.
66 today for the Chilean.
And also on 11 under, the remarkable Peter Uehlein,
last week's winner in Doha.
Could he make it two in a row?
This at the 16th on a day when he made six threes in a row.
A 65, he's joint leader.
But then again, there are 25 players within four of the lead
as we head into round three.
It should be quite a weekend here in Riyadh.
