Denmark's Thomas Bjorn and Ireland's Shane Lowry will start the third round of the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth with a four-shot lead.
Both Bjorn and Lowry failed to repeat their form from the opening round, but it was enough for the two Europeans to hold a clear advantage over the rest of the field.
Luke Donald recorded a five-under-par round of 67 to join Rafa Cabrera-Bello in third place, while Henrik Stenson and Rory McIlroy sit a shot further adrift in fifth position.
Pablo Larrazabal is one of five players who are six behind the leaders, while Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter and Jamie Donaldson will require a low round on Saturday to close their eight-shot deficit to Bjorn and Lowry.
