MILAN, Italy, May 5 (UPI) -- David Drysdale of Scotland was a two-shot leader over four players at 13-under-par 131 Friday after two rounds of the Italian Open at Milan.
He won the European Challenge Tour's Peugeot Challenge three weeks ago and is seeking his second title of 2006.
"It feels weird," Drysdale said. "I haven't struck the ball particularly well, but every time I got within 15 feet it seemed to go in."
England's Phil Archer shot a 67 and fellow Briton Benn Barham had a 68. Soren Kjeldsen of Sweden, with a 70, and Francesco Molinari of Italy, with a 65, were tied for second place at 11-under 133 heading into Saturday's third round.
Another group of four -- Andrew Butterfield (68) of England, Gregory Havret (68) of France, Alex Rocha (66) of England, and Leif Westerberg (65) of Sweden -- were tied for sixth at 10-under 134.
Kjeldsen was the first-round leader after matching the course record with a 9-under-par 63 on Thursday.
