 It's been a really tough second day at the International Scenic Oman here at Almuz Golf in Muscat. Firm greens, and the wind really blowing hard off the gulf of Oman. Among the big names to miss the cut, Brooks Kepka. This is third at the third, but too little too late. A 78 for eight over for Brooks Kepka. Miguel Trabuena, the Filipino though, shot 74 for even par with the help of this at the 12th. Graham McDowell didn't have a good start to the day. He was two over par after four holes, but battled back really well. This was a second into the 14th. Both he and Kandy Ken Comboy were delighted with this one. A 72 for one over par, only five back. Jochen Nieman was once again very impressive. One of the few players to shoot two under par 70 today. This was a birdie at the 10th for the Chilean. Sergio Garcia, a bit like Mike Dahl, got off to a poor start. He'd a triple bogey seven at the fourth. Started to battle back with this birdie at the 7th. In the end, the 76 was good enough for one over par after 36 holes. The man who led after round one, Yonggu Justin Shin from Canada, didn't manage a birdie today. 76 leaves him at two under par, just two behind. It's two Japanese players at the top of the leaderboard. Stranger, they both missed out on their par's at the 18th, but were happy enough with the day's work. His Saturday just 20 years old, a 70 for three under. And at the halfway stage, he trails his countryman, Takumi Kanaya. This at the 18th for Tanaya, again a bogey, but around a 71 and at four under, Kanaya leads by one.
