The Arcos Gardens European Challenge - Day 2

Day 2 of 3
12th October 2006

El Dia del Pilar, a national holiday here in Spain did not see the players of this interesting challenge match relaxing, as another perfect day for golf saw scores going low. Pedro Figueiredo of Portugal followed his 69 from yesterday with an easy looking 67 but the 17 year old St Andrews Links Trophy holder, Oliver Fisher moved into first place, carding a near perfect 64 with 8 birdies and no dropped shots. "This amateur star sure showed his class today" said one onlooker.
Oliver's score also aided his country, moving England up to joint first with Portugal.
