CRANS-MONTANA, Switzerland (AP) — Dean Burmester took a one-stroke lead after the second round of the European Masters in the Swiss Alps on Friday with five birdies in a 5-under 65.
The South African enjoyed a superb up-and-down at the 17th to keep his card bogey-free. He is 11-under par overall, a shot ahead of England's Andy Sullivan (66) and Belgium's Thomas Detry (65).
Two-time European Tour winner and overnight leader James Morrison had opened with a course-record 10-under 60 at the scenic Crans-sur-Sierre club. But the 36-year-old Englishman dropped into a share of 14th after a second-round 74.
Miguel Ángel Jiménez is making his 31st appearance in the tournament which was canceled in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 57-year-old Jiménez, who won the 2010 edition, is at 4 under. His 67 Friday had highs — an eagle at par-4 seventh— and lows — a double bogey at the par-5 14th.
