A late show from the in-form Rafael Cabrera Bello saw the Spaniard join Portugal’s Ricardo Santos at the top of the leaderboard on day two of the Ypsilon Golf Challenge by Alex Cejka.
With his country in a state of mourning – Cabrera Bello hails from the Canary Islands, the intended destination of the plane which crash landed at Madrid Airport on Wednesday – the Spaniard was in understandably sombre mood at Ypsilon Golf Resort in Liberec, Czech Republic.
But he set about his task in typically professional fashion, plundering seven birdies in a round of 64 to join Santos on 11 under par.
Cabrera Bello said: “I just played really well today – my only complaint is that I wasn’t able to birdie any of the par fives. Other than that, it felt quite easy today. It helps that the course is in fantastic condition. Sometimes when you come to countries where golf isn’t very popular, you worry that the course might not be in great shape. But that’s definitely not the case here.”
Cabrera Bello’s round of 64 was matched by Santos, who put the pain of seven consecutive missed cuts firmly behind him.
