It’s an log-jam atop of the board heading into the final round of the MENA Tour’s in the second of back-to-back Egypt Golf Series event at the Address Marassi Golf Resort near Cairo.

The four, as you can see hereunder, share the lead on 10-under ahead of tomorrow’s third and last day.

Welshman Jack Davidson equalled the course record in posting nine birdies in a sensational 63, and matching the effort on day one of Ireland’s Jack Maguire.

Joining Davidson is England’s Curtis Knipes a round of 66, Italian Giovanna Manzoni a 68 while Spaniard Juan Salama signing for a 68.

Scotland’s Michael Stewart is only one back after his 69.

Davidson took full advantage of calmer morning conditions, racing to six under through his opening nine holes after starting on the 10th before maintaining his momentum on the inward half.

“Conditions were definitely a bit more favourable this morning compared to yesterday afternoon when the wind was stronger, so I really tried to take advantage early,” said Davidson. “Starting on the back nine and getting to six under through nine was a great start.

“I got to nine under through 13 holes, which I was really happy with, but I knew the field would be scoring with the calmer weather, so I just tried to make the most of every opportunity. I have been swinging it really nicely for the last couple of months and today felt no different. If I can keep swinging it the way I am and stay patient, then hopefully I can keep the momentum into the final round.”

Knipes recovered from a nightmare start to post a 66 and join the leaders at ten under.

“Honestly, it was a pretty nervy start,” said the Englishman. “I hit it left off the 10th and was just trying to chip it back into the fairway but caught it heavy and put it into a bush, so I had to take a drop. Suddenly I was standing over a four-footer for six, which is not the start you want.

“If you had told me after that I would sign for a 66, I would have taken it straight away. With the scoring we saw last week, getting to double digits after two rounds should put me in a really good position going into the weekend.”

Manzoni, who followed his opening-round 66 with another impressed score of 68, was pleased with his consistency despite a couple of mistakes.

“It was a good day. I played really solid golf,” said the Italian. “I made two mistakes which cost me a couple of shots, but overall I was very consistent, so I’m happy with the score and where I am on the leaderboard.

“Two and ten were probably the highlights. On both holes I hit it very close, to about a foot, so those were nice moments.”

Salama came agonisingly close to taking the outright lead, his birdie putt on the final hole just missing.

“On the last hole, I nearly holed the putt to take the outright lead,” said the Spaniard. “I had a tricky lie just on the side of the bunker with one foot inside it, so it wasn’t an easy shot, but I executed it well and left myself about two metres to get to the lead on my own.

“The putter is still feeling hot, so hopefully I can keep that going into tomorrow.”

Looking at the full baord, there is eight players within three shots of the lead.

England’s Chris Wood, a two-time MENA winner this year in just his three events, has work to do after posting a 68 but back sharing 23rd place at three-under.
