HILVERSUM, Netherlands, Sept. 7 (UPI) -- Graeme Storm used a second bogey-free round to stretch his lead at the European Tour's KLM Open to three strokes after Friday's play in the Netherlands.

Storm, looking for his first European Tour title in more than five years and his second overall, shot a 4-under-par 66 and moved to 11-under 129 after 36 holes.

He's three strokes ahead of Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano, Peter Hanson and Scott Jamieson and five up on Siv Kapur and Pablo Larrazabal.

Storm had a birdie at the third hole and was still one-under through 10 holes. He added a birdie at 11 and also had birdies at 15 and 18.

Jamieson had an eagle, five birdies and a bogey in matching in the best round of the day at 6-under 64. Fernandez-Castano had an eagle, four birdies and a bogey in shooting 65 and Hanson had an eagle and two birdies in a bogey-free 66.

All three of the eagles came at the 484-yard par-5 12th hole, which yielded 18 eagles and 164 birdies through two rounds.
