EUROPEAN TOUR: France’s Julien Quesne moved into the lead of the Omega European Masters after he shot a second-round 65 yesterday. The 32-year-old moved ahead of England’s Danny Willett with six under par for the day and nine under par overall to earn a one-shot lead.

Quesne fired in seven birdies as he edged into the lead.

Scotland’s Paul Lawrie scored 66 to move into third ahead of Englishman David Howell, who mixed four birdies with three bogeys at Crans-sur-Sierre in the Swiss Alps. Lawrie said: “I played lovely again today, hit a lot of good putts. Not all of them went in, but a fair few did. So I’m very happy with my day’s work, despite the weather.”
