DP World Tour : KLM Open Leaderboard Tee Times
Sebastian Söderberg will take a one-shot lead into the weekend at the weather-delayed KLM Open after a marathon second day at The International.
The Swede was in the half of the draw who managed to get their first round completed on day one and started round two two shots off the lead.
He had edged one ahead when play ended just before 9.00pm but will have four holes to complete on Saturday morning, with conditions usually tougher earlier in the day in Amsterdam.
Söderberg was at eight under, one shot clear of Kiwi Daniel Hillier and Japan’s Yuto Katsuragawa, who were in the clubhouse, and English pair Joe Dean and Callum Tarren, who had two and five holes remaining respectively.
Some players will have as many as eight holes left when play resumes at 7.15am, with the third round then set to be a two-tee start, beginning at 10.00am at the earliest.
Söderberg finished outside the top 100 on the Race to Dubai in 2025 and arrived in the Netherlands having made just two of his last eight cuts.
But he showed all the class that has made him a winner and seven-time runner-up on the DP World Tour in his 14 holes on Friday evening.
Hillier started the day at one over having played ten holes of round one before birdies on the par-five 15th and 18th had him under par.
“There was a lot of golf played today so I am a bit tired but played pretty steady all day,” he said. “Today was a little bit easier than yesterday for sure, still not easy, but just good to play a shot on its merit, and I did that pretty well so proud of that.
Katsuragawa completed just six holes on day one in one over par but got back on an even keel with a birdie on his first hole on Friday, adding further gains at the second and third.
“I am happy today, the long game not so much but I am putting very good,” he said.
Dean was alongside Söderberg after four birdies and a bogey but dropped a shot on the sixth, while Tarren made his move with six birdies and a bogey in his 13 holes.
American Jordan Gumberg and Austrian Maximilian Steinlechner were in the clubhouse at -6 after rounds of 68 and 69 respectively, with first-round leader Julien Guerrier also at -6 through 16 holes.
Finn Oliver Lindell and American Hunter Logan were at -5 with four and eight holes to play, with 12 players in the clubhouse four shots off the lead including Major Champions Francesco Molinari and Danny Willett.
