Atzenbrugg (Austria) (AFP) - Gregory Bourdy doubled his advantage to a four-shot lead after the second round of the Austria Open on Friday as he targets a fifth European Tour title.

After a first-round 65, the Frenchman carded a 67 on Friday to go four clear of compatriot Gary Stal and England's Chris Wood.

"I have been playing well so the confidence has been growing, probably since the Spanish Open but I have been playing well all year –- it was just a case of putting it all together," said Bourdy.
