June 26, 2015: Shiv Kapur and Jeev Milkha Singh were dealing with heartbreak in Munich after yet another round of low scores dented their prospects of staying over in Germany for the weekend. Kapur shot a two under 70 in the second round, but lying 14 behind the leader, he is lying just beneath the cut line. Jeev had a forgettable day, firing three bogeys and a double bogey seven at the 11th to slip deep into trouble. Even though he made birdies at the 16th and 18th, it was barely enough prevent him from sliding outside the top 100. (Latest Golf News)
Spain’s Rafael Cabrera-Bello believes he has learnt from his mistakes as he looks to turn another promising position into victory in the BMW International Open. Cabrera-Bello added a second round of 67 to his opening 65 at Golfclub München Eichenried to claim the halfway lead on 12 under par, one shot ahead of England’s James Morrison.
The 31 year old has finished fourth, 13th and second in his last three events on The European Tour, but bogeyed the 72nd hole in the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open to miss out on a play-off and could only manage a closing 72 when entering the final round of the Lyoness Open just two off the lead.
“On some occasions I have been a little unfortunate, other occasions the competition is very hard and other people have just outplayed me and other times I have made some mistakes which I have learned from,” Cabrera-Bello said. “Hopefully I put the pieces together this week; we will see.”
Northern Ireland’s Michael Hoey and Denmark’s Lasse Jensen are two shots off the lead after rounds of 65 and 69 respectively, Hoey equalling the lowest score of the day with nine birdies and two bogeys.
“I knew the greens would be better today and I putted well,” Hoey said. “There was an opportunity today to shoot seven under and I did that. “The cut has been six under here before and although they have lengthened the course and it’s tougher now, you have to score well no matter what. Someone is going to be 24 under so you have to be aggressive, which is quite good. It’s quite enjoyable to go at it and get stuck in.”
World Number Seven Henrik Stenson added a 71 to his opening 67 to lie six under, but playing partner Martin Kaymer missed the cut after a costly bogey on the last, where his drive was deemed not to have crossed a water hazard.
