DP World Tour: Shubhankar Sharma dropped three bogeys over the last six holes but still managed to stay in the Top-10 at the halfway stage of the European Masters. The 30-year-old Sharma, a two-time winner on the DP World Tour, recorded three birdies on either side of the Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club and four bogeys, three of which came on the back nine. He carded a 2-under 68.

Along with his first-round 6-under 64, he is now 8-under and tied for eighth with two more rounds to go. India’s other player in the event, Yuvraj Sandhu, shot a superb 5-under 65, a 12-shot improvement on his first-round 77. But he still missed the cut. For Sharma, every week will be crucial as he tries to climb from 179th to inside the Top-100 to earn a card for 2027.

South Africa’s Thriston Lawrence produced a stellar second round of 63, moving two strokes clear of the field. The defending champion, who began the day one shot off the pace, delivered a flawless display at Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club, carding seven birdies to reach 13 under par after 36 holes.
