Disaster For Dan In Rio

Dan Wasteney continued his good form lying -1 going down the 18th in Round 2 of the Nick Faldo Series Grand Final.

One loose shot then hit a tree, with the recovery finishing in the water meant Dan ended up with a disastrous 9. Prior to this Dan missed out challenging the lead and lipped for 5 birdies.

Dan seems to have taken the setback in his stride and promises to be back with vengeance in the final round tomorrow.

Jonathan Bell and James Watts share the joint lead in the Faldo Series Grand Final following the second round of the tournament which is being held at the Itanhanga Golf Club in the Olympic city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

England’s Watts shot a stunning eight under par round of 64, which included six birdies and an eagle at the par five fifth. His efforts drew him level with overnight leader Bell, who shot a three under par 69 today. Both Watts and Bell lead the Boys Under 21 and Boys Under 18 categories respectively. Scotland’s Carly Booth is the leading girl with a three over par two-round total of 147.
