SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France (AP) — Belgian Thomas Detry shot a second-round 63 to share the lead with England’s Dan Bradbury and Jesper Svensson at 9 under par midway through the Open de France Friday.
Five players were one shot behind.
Detry also shot 8-under 63 at the Paris Olympic tournament, which was also held at Golf National.
“I got off to a good start,” Detry said. “It’s the type of golf course that gives you some opportunities in the first couple of holes, and if you drive it well, which I’ve done all week so far, you can go low. I’ve been here so many times.”
Bradbury posted a 66 in the second round and Svensson a 68.
Lev Grinbergthe 16-year-old Ukrainian, playing for only the fifth time on the European tour, managed to place at 5 under.
