"The first round I played really well, yesterday not that well but made a great score and then today I played not as good at all," the Russian Open winner in 2005 told reporters. "With a few good shots, I managed to get it to four under -- I don't know how. I am just going to go out there (Sunday) and see if I can put a decent number on the board. Hopefully that will be enough."

He shared the second-round lead with compatriot Jarmo Sandelin.

Moul's 8-under 64 included eight birdies in all and closing birdies from holes 16-18.

Moul began Saturday's round in a tie for 11th place.

England's Benn Barham (65) and Michiel Bothma (66) of South Africa share third place at 14-under 202.
