Despite this eagle at 16, Wiesberger can't birdie 17 & will just miss the cut. Fantastic effort, all the same. https://t.co/EeM8iALtk4

What They're Saying

Gregory Bourdy: "It was a great day today [Friday], especially the way I started with five birdies on my front nine. Unfortunately, I bogeyed my tenth hole but five under around here is very good. I have been playing well, so the confidence has been growing. Probably since the Spanish Open, but I have been playing well all year. It was just a case of putting it all together."

Gary Stal: "I am very pleased, especially with the finish today because it was a day that you had to be patient out there and then to finish with three birdies in the last four holes was very satisfying. I am playing well and driving the ball very well, so I have a good chance at the weekend. I am happy to be in contention and it is great to have two French guys at the top of the leaderboard."

Chris Wood: "It was getting very firm and bouncy which makes it a deceivingly tricky course at times."
