Playing high and strong at 10 under after the close of Round 2 for the English Open, the player finished his day tied 8th on the leaderboard. 

While Round 1 consisted of six birdies and a bogey, the gameplay grew statically impressive at Round 2 as he closed the day with the same pride of luck at six birdies and a bogey.
