Finland's Mikko Korhonen has a one-shot lead at the halfway stage of the KLM Open, with Tom McKibbin seven behind heading into the weekend.
McKibbin carded a round of 70 to add to his opening 69, with three birdies coming early in his round, before a dropped shot on nine. Another bogey followed on 12 and then a runs of pars to end his round. The Belfast native stands at three under.
Gary Hurley missed the cut after a successive 73, which left him at four over.
Korhonen added a 68 to his opening 64 to reach 10 under par. His rollercoaster round contained an eagle, two bogeys, a triple bogey and six birdies in what is just his third event on the DP World Tour since being sidelined following a panic attack during last year's Italian Open.
LEADERBOARD
The Finn holds a slender advantage over American Sean Crocker, with England's James Morrison sharing third place on eight-under-par with compatriot Ross Fisher, who won the last of his five DP World Tour titles more than a decade ago.
Overnight joint-leader Matteo Manassero could only add a 71 to his opening 64 to lie three shots off the lead on seven under, with Scotland's Ewen Ferguson also on the same score following a 66.
Welshman Jamie Donaldson, a Ryder Cup winner in 2014, missed the cut on his 500th DP World Tour start on three over par, the same total as defending champion Pablo Larrazabal.
