NORTH YORKSHIRE golfer Simon Dyson is enjoying a return to form in the Far East.
He shot a second round 68 for a two round total score of 140 to comfortably make the cut in the Omega Hong Kong Open.
The Malton and Norton player last month failed to regain his pro tour card.
Richard McEvoy stands alone as the clear leader today after turning in another accomplished performance to shoot a 68 and set the clubhouse mark at ten-under-par.
The 24-year-old, who tamed the Fanling course yesterday with a record-equalling 62, extended his lead to five shots as the rest of the field battled it in his wake.
None of those with early tee-offs was able to make any sort of imprint on the tour rookie - and of the clubhouse finishers, Sweden's Henrik Nystrom was his closest rival on five under par after shooting a 66.
Ireland's Padraig Harrington, Hennie Otto from South Africa and Thailand's Prayad Marksaeng were all in the clubhouse one shot further back - while Darren Clarke was among the vast pack on three under par, seven shots off the lead.
South African Tyrol Auret, who started at one over par and dropped a shot on the first hole, produced a moment of magic for a hole-in-one on the 149-yard par-three second.
