Lee Westwood and Brett Rumford will share the lead heading into the weekend after doing battle on day two of the ISPS Handa World Super 6.
It was Westwood who stole the show in difficult, windy conditions earlier today, posting a 70 to join Perth native Rumford (72) at -8 and the pair will once again be playing together for the final round of stroke play on Saturday.
Remember the top 24, with the top eight seeded after 54 holes will face each other in match play over six holes on Sunday, with five rounds of competition determining who will take home the trophy.

"We both played well," said Westwood. "We haven't given too many shots away, made a few putts and I chipped in a couple of times. It's been fun over the first couple of days. I'm just trying to shoot as low as possible. I know if I carry on playing like I'm playing and a few putts start to go in, because I didn't really hole any putts today, I'll be thereabouts on the leaderboard."
Westwood is the bookmakers favourite, he played well in Malaysia last week including a record 62 on Friday, and hasn't given up on making this year's Ryder Cup team.
Canada's Austin Connelly 69 74 -1 has made the cut, T43.
Denmark's Thorbjørn Olesen fired a 67 to sit at -7 alongside Scotland's Grant Forrest, Thailand's Prom Meesawat and Australian Lucas Herbert.

Remember Perth in Western Australia is 13 hours ahead of EST, so 7pm EST tonight is 8am Saturday morning there.
