Soudal Open - Day two digest

Everything you need to know from round two at Rinkven International GC.

Ewen Ferguson pulled clear, Marco Penge was growing in confidence and Chris Wood converted from 73 feet.

Here is everything you need to know from the second round in Antwerp.

Ferguson flying high in familiar conditions

Ferguson surged into a three-shot halfway lead at the Soudal Open after a stunning second-round 64. The 28-year-old Scot carded seven birdies as he completed a second successive bogey-free round for an 11-under-par total. “I was in control of my ball today and when I was out of position I just got back in position and I was chipping really well, so I was always getting it up and down and that kept momentum going," he said. “I quite enjoy when a par is a good score. I find it tough sometimes when you just need to make birdies and there's a lot of pressure on to make birdies. So when it's quite tough like that to grind out pars, I feel comfortable with that because that's how I was brought up playing and in Scotland par is a brilliant score.”

Penge looking to build on maiden win

Penge won his first DP World Tour title at the recent Hainan Classic and a 68 left him in second, albeit three adrift of the leader. “Winning in China gave me a lot of confidence - just knowing I can win at this level," he said. "Last year, I kind of felt like an apprentice, being a rookie and learning the ropes. But this year, I feel much more at home. I even said to my caddie today, walking down the fifth, how great it is to be playing alongside guys like Haotong Li and Thomas Pieters - players I’ve looked up to, Ryder Cup players and multiple-time winners. It’s just amazing to be out here with the best players in Europe. I still have so much to learn, and these are the types of players I can learn a lot from. I believe in myself and in the things I keep to myself. I didn’t feel out of place last week at the (US) PGA, and I don’t feel out of place here either. We’ve just got to keep putting good scores together and keep moving forward.”

Wood makes monster putt

Chris Wood's welcome return to form has been one of the highlights of the season, and so is this 73-foot effort.

Colsaerts shows his class

Mere mortals just try and find the fairway from the sand. Nicolas Colsaerts went pin seeking instead.

Making the difficult look simple

Two tough holes - including one where he drove into the trees - and two Ferguson birdies.
