However, McIlroy’s day ended in disappointment as he bogeyed the par-four 16th and 18th to shoot 69, but that did improve his total to seven-under.Meanwhile, Quiros began the day tied for the lead and enjoyed a solid start with three birdies over his first nine holes. But things turned sour over his final nine as three bogeys – one of which came at his final hole – and one birdie meant he had to also settle for a one-under round.Puttayarat put himself in contention with a bogey-free five-under-par round on Friday, and he is joined on six-under by Richie Ramsay after the Scot shot five birdies and a bogey in a four-under effort.Miguel Angel Jimenez, Danny lee and Pariya Junhasavasdikul are tied on five-under, while Marcus Fraser, Soren Kjeldsen, David Horsey, Martin Wiegele and Peter Hanson are all four-under at the midway point.
