DP World Tour Golf: Thriston Lawrence leads at halfway stage of Omega European Masters as he aims to emulate Seve Ballesteros

South Africa's Thriston Lawrence leads at the halfway stage of the Omega European Masters on the DP World Tour after reeling off six consecutive birdies and making a key par save from a bunker. Lawrence, the defending champion, is chasing a third victory in this event since it joined the DP World Tour schedule, which would see him equal the record set by the late Seve Ballesteros. England's Harry Hall climbed the leaderboard before an injury disrupted his round, causing him to bogey three of his final five holes, with compatriot Paul Casey sitting four shots behind Lawrence.
