DP World Tour : Italian Open Leaderboard
Gunner Wiebe enjoyed a remarkable return to form to hold the halfway lead at the Italian Open presented by Regione Emilia-Romagna.
The 35-year-old American was a runner-up at the 2023 Betfred British Masters presented by Sir Nick Faldo but in 12 months since then had made only seven cuts on the DP World Tour with a best finish tied for 41st.
Three birdies and a single bogey saw Wiebe card a second round of 69 in Milano Marittima to reach nine under for the week.
That was one clear of German Jannik de Bruyn, who made the most of his late entrance into the field to card a second straight 67 to lie second.
Denmark's Sebastian Friedrichsen, Sweden's Marcus Kinhult, Spain's Adrian Otaegui and South African Brandon Stone were a shot further back on seven under.
We’re going to have to survive the heat, because it’s definitely warm. Coming off of where we’ve been where it seems like it has rained and been cold all year, it’s a nice reprieve. But it’s hot, it’s definitely hot.
“I think if you get off in the morning, some of the guys that have an earlier time tomorrow, with the wind down, there might some chances to get out and score. If the weather maintains and the wind stays up, I think you’ll see a pretty condensed leaderboard and probably a lot of guys who will have a chance.
“Whether it’s me or somebody else, someone is going to have to play very good the last two rounds to hold the trophy.”
Edit *** With 5 birdies, 3 bogey's and a double Aaron shot -1 70 on Saturday -6 70 total 7th with the weekend ahead, 3 shots behind..
