Jordan Hood is the only Irish player inside the cut mark after 36 holes of the Portuguese International Amateur Open at Montado Hotel & Golf Resort.
The Maynooth University player and reigning Leinster Youths champion made five birdies in a three under 69 to move up 43 places to 10th on one under par, eight shots behind Italy’s Guido Migliozzi, who shot a 66 to lead by two from Welshman Owen Edwards on nine under.
Co Louth’s Thomas Mulligan shot a five-birdie 71 and Eugene Smith a 73 to be four over and just a shot outside the top 40 and ties who will survive the 54-hole guillotine on Friday.
Ronan Mullarney also made a positive move with a level par 72 leaving him on six over while Tiarnan McLarnon (71), Geoff Lenehan (76) and Eanna Griffin (76) are a shot further back on seven over.
Sean Flanagan (77) is eight over, Colin Fairweather (75) nine over and Gary Collins (84) 14 over.
