Jaco van Zyl remains the man to catch at the halfway stage of the $7 mn Turkish Airlines Open

Belek (Turkey) (AFP) - South Africa's Jaco van Zyl remained the man to catch at the halfway stage of the $7 million Turkish Airlines Open on Friday, as he opened up a two-shot lead on the top of the leaderboard.

At the Montgomerie Maxx Royal course, van Zyl had raced to a seven-shot lead at one stage when he was five-under par through his first 12 holes.

But he gave some hope to the field as he cooled off coming in.
