CASTELLON, Spain, Oct. 24 (UPI) -- Sergio Garcia and Richard Finch joined Soren Kjeldsen at the top during Friday's second round at the European Tour's inaugural Castello Masters golf tournament.

Garcia, playing before an enthusiastic home fan base at Club de Campo del Mediterraneo in Castellon, Spain, shot 6-under-par 65, with one bogey.

Finch, who was tied for second when the round began, shot 5-under 66, with two bogeys.

Kjeldsen, the first-round leader, ended his day with the second of two bogeys at the par-4 18th, which led to a round of 4-under 67.

The trio's 36-hole total is 11-under 131.

"This week is great," Garcia said. "It's nice to be in this position as there is a little bit of pressure playing on my home course."

At 9-under 133, five others, including last week's winner at the Portugal Masters, Alvaro Quiros, share fourth place.

Among those missing the even-par 142 cut were Oliver Fisher (142), Steve Webster (144), and Graeme Storm (150).
