FIGHTING back – Simon Dyson returned to form and a crack at the business end of the Welsh Open.
The York-born Dyson’s toil of the first day at Celtic Manor was replaced by a second round of roller-coaster golf in which he carded five birdies and four bogeys.
But the one-under-par total allied to his first day one-over ensured the 33-year-old was inside the half-way cut by two clear shots.
The world number 70 started his round yesterday on the tenth hole and birdied the 11th to kick-start a soaring and dipping circuit.
He dropped a shot on the 14th, pulled one back on the par-four next, ceded another shot on the 17th and then rattled in another birdie on the 18th.
The same pattern continued on the inward nine, where a birdie on the fifth was followed by dropped shots on six and eight before he birdied the ninth and the last of the day to finish in 38th place, eight adrift of half-way leader, Sweden’s Alexander Noren.
