Round 2 of the Portugal Masters produced 71 sub-par rounds and a field average score of 69.65. David Lynn, Paul Waring and Hennie Otto lead on -12. We analyse their performances and round up the half way Genworth Statistics leaders.
David LYNN -12
David Lynn converted one eagle and four birdies during a bogey free second round 65. Looking at his Genworth Statistics, the 39 year old English golfer (who celebrates a milestone 40th birthday next week) ranks quite low for the long game categories, but his short game has been sublime, scrambling for Par 9/9 times and taking just 52 putts in total so far (his scoring on the Par 3’s and Par 5’s is fantastic).
