Andy Sullivan shoots 7-under 64 to lead Portugal Masters

So, in their effort to get play in before the expected storms around lunchtime, European Tour officials and tournament organizers have agreed to start the third round with a shotguns start beginning at 8 a.m.

The 29-year-old started his second round with a birdie at the 10th, and he picked up three in five holes from the 13th to cover the back nine in just 32 shots.

“It’s always nice to back up a good score with a new one”, said Sullivan.

At two under par, Kaymer was one off the early pace being set by Ireland’s Paul Dunne, Nicolas Colsaerts and Trevor Fisher, with Dunne continuing to impress in the paid ranks after turning professional following Great Britain and Ireland’s Walker Cup win in September.

Sullivan finished strongly with four birdies down the stretch, including his second in consecutive days at the seventh, where he chipped in from the edge of the green to underline the sharpness of his short game.

Bernd Wiesberger was a further shot back on 10 under after a 64 and produced arguably the shot of the day with an eagle on the second.

Colsaerts fired an opening seven-under-par 64 at
