Amateur Marcus Kinhult keeps share of lead on Day 2 of Nordea Masters

 

MALMO, Sweden (AP) – Amateur Marcus Kinhult of Sweden held on to a share of the lead of the Nordea Masters after a 4-under 68 in the second round Friday. 

 

The 18-year-old Kinhult made his only bogey of the day on the sixth hole but bounced back with a birdie on the seventh. He is tied with fellow Swede Jens Dantorp (68) on 9-under 135 in the European Tour event. 

 

The duo was two shots clear of countryman Sebastian Soderberg (70) and Germany's Maximilian Kiefer, who bogeyed the final two holes to settle for a 69. 

 

Mark Foster of England had a hole-in-one on the fourth hole but was tied for 80th after a 71. 

 

Chris Paisley of England, who was in a three-way tie for the first-round lead with Kinhult and Dantorp, fell down the leaderboard after a 73.
