DROITWICH'S John Bickerton and David Park of Hereford were both well up the leaderboard after the second round of the inaugural Nordic Open in Copenhagen.
Bickerton shared 21st place on seven under par after a 70 yesterday, while Park shot a 71 to lie in joint 31st, one stroke further back.
Colin Montgomerie was today hoping to make life a little easier for himself, resuming his first event since being forced to pull out of The Open Championship four shots off the lead held by France's Gregory Havret.
The 40-year-old Scot fired a second-round 65 in Copenhagen, but was also left cursing a handful of missed chances on the four reachable par fives at Simon's Golf Club.
The quartet of holes have played the four easiest on the course over the first two days, yielding 500 birdies, 36 eagles and one albatross.
However, Montgomerie has played them in just two under par on Thursday and Friday, and had to birdie the 18th yesterday to play them in level par during his second round.
