Cockerill makes cut on the number, Magical Kenya Open.. scoreboard / tee times

 DP World Tour : Magical Kenya Open Leaderboard Tee Times

Tapio PulkkanenConnor Syme and Darius van Driel were at the head of a congested leaderboard heading into the weekend at the Magical Kenya Open presented by absa.

Trio tied at the top in Kenya

Dutchman Van Driel came into day two leading and followed up his opening 66 with a 69 to set the target at seven under.

He was joined at the summit by Pulkkanen after a birdie-birdie finish saw the Finn sign for a 68 and Scot Syme carded a 68 of his own, eagling the last to make it a three-way tie.

Pulkkanen had this to say "It was really important, especially from the first bogey I made on three, to get the round going and make two birdies after that," he said.

"I played a lot of irons off the tee, same as yesterday. I think the course played similar to the first day: same wind direction, firm greens. I played well.

All three of the leaders made their way to the DP World Tour initially through the European Challenge Tour, with Pulkkanen topping the Road to Mallorca Rankings in 2017 and Syme and Van Driel both graduating two years later.

Spaniard Manuel Elvira, Scot Ewen Ferguson, Englishman Sam Hutsby and Italian Lorenzo Scalise were at six under, with 21 players within three shots of the lead.

edit *** Canada's Aaron Cockerill just made the cut on the number 70 72 E and now starts the weekend 7 shots off the lead without his A game so far yet this week on a course where he has had success, T2 2022.
