Hideto Tanihara from Japan took the lead after the second day of the 2018 Omega European Masters. Tanihara posted second round 66 and with 9 under for the tournament he has two shots advantage ahead of last year champion Matthew Fitzpatrick, Lucas Bjerregaards and Doug Ghim. A group of four players, including the 2016 Masters champion Danny Willett is at 6 under, three shots behind the leader. Some of the big names in the tournament did not manage to make the cut and we won’t see them during the weekend. This group includes Miguel Angel Jimenez, Martin Kaymer, Thomas Detry, Jamie Donaldson and John Daly.
