D+D Real Czech Masters 2023, Albatross Golf Resort, Prague: 24-27 August, Day Two
Sweden's Alexander Björk leads at the Albatross, a shot ahead of Nicolai Højgaard
From DP World Tour News:
Alexander Björk sent a timely reminder of his Ryder Cup ambitions as he held a one-shot lead at the halfway mark of the D+D Real Czech Masters.
The Swede is a rank outsider of the 20 players who mathematically have a chance of claiming the final place on offer via the European Points List.
Björk's playing partner Robert MacIntyre currently occupies the third spot, with Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm having already sealed the top two positions, but it was the final member of his group who he needed to impress.
Ryder Cup Captain Luke Donald was playing alongside the pair. Read more
From Golf Today:
Alexander Björk signed for a second-round, bogey-free 66 to take a one-shot lead at 13-under at the halfway mark of the D+D Real Czech Masters.
"It feels good. I had a solid day today as well. Swing felt really good all day," said the Swede. "Started really good then we got a little break; you never know what’s going to happen after that but I was able to continue the good feeling I had from the start. It was a solid round.
"I had a few putts just before the turn that didn’t drop. But I managed to stay patient and a few rolled in." Read more
From Irish Times, by Philip Reid:
Now, it’s a matter of waiting for Shane Lowry. The Offalyman’s Ryder Cup qualifying campaign came to an end with a missed cut in the D+D Czech Masters in Prague and, if he is to be on the plane to Rome for next month’s match against the United States, it can only be as one of Europe captain Luke Donald’s wildcard picks...
Lowry, who is eighth on the Europe world points list, intends taking a week’s break next week ahead of playing in the Irish Open. Read more
