ANTALYA, Turkey: Austria’s Matthias Schwab birdied the final hole to claim a one-shot lead at the halfway stage of the Turkish Open on Friday (Saturday in Manila), with Justin Rose only two strokes behind in his chase for a third straight title. World number 104 Schwab is still waiting for a maiden European Tour title despite posting nine top-10 finishes this season. He started his second round with an eagle and added four birdies on the back nine to round out a five-under-par 67 and reach 12-under for the tournament. “I think I scored well today, I wasn’t hitting it that well early on but I kept it together,” Schwab said. “To be able to go out and get a pick, especially from captain Woods, was amazing.
