Magical recovery boosts Cabrera-Bello in Munich (Reuters)

BERLIN (Reuters) - A magical recovery at the 18th hole helped Rafael Cabrera-Bello fire a five-under 67 to grab a one-stroke lead in the BMW International Open second round in Munich on Friday.

The Spaniard is 12-under overall, one ahead of England's James Morrison (66) and two in front of Denmark's Lasse Jensen (69) and Northern Ireland's Michael Hoey (65).

The highlight of Cabrera-Bello's round, which began at the 10th, came at the 18th where he found water with his approach before chipping in for a birdie.

"Everyone can score very low around here so you need a little bit of luck and I got my fair bit of luck," the twice European Tour winner told reporters.
