Oliver Wilson holds the halfway lead
in the Omega European Masters after
a superb day in the Swiss mountains.
The Englishman, one of 44 players
unable to complete their opening rounds
due to overnight frost, resumed his
first round with an eagle and finished
his second with a birdie a few hours
later to claim a one shot lead at
Crans-sur-Sierre.
Wilson completed a first round 65
and then after a 30-minute break returned
to fire six further birdies and one
bogey in a round of 66.
The former Walker Cup star leads defending
champion Bradley Dredge by one with
Australian Brett Rumford two shots
further back in third.
"It was a good decision last
night because I was putting well but
my caddie said to me it would be good
to come back on a positive note and
it worked out well," said Wilson.
"It is amazing the difference
it made having that putt to start
with. I knew realistically I would
make birdie for four under and five
was a bonus."
Wilson, who is still looking for his
maiden European Tour title, added:
"There is a long way to go and
there are no easy holes so I just
have to keep concentrating and try
to eliminate as many mistakes as possible.
