Spain’s Juan Quiros overcame difficult playing conditions to grab the clubhouse lead on day two of The De Vere Collection PGA Seniors Championship.
Quiros battled through the wet at De Vere Slaley Hall to sign for a round of 71 which moved him to level par, four shots clear of his nearest challengers – the Scottish trio of Gordoin Brand Jnr, Bill Longmuir and Bill McColl, and Ireland’s Eamonn Darcy.
The diminutive Spaniard admitted his round had been slightly fortuitous, saying: “I’m very happy. Every time I shoot under par I’m happy, especially today with the course playing so difficult. I think I played better yesterday than today, but this morning I was lucky on a few holes and holed a few good putts – that was the difference. Conditions are wet which means many holes are playing longer, so you have to be careful if you miss the fairway because you can end up losing your ball.”
