Superb Donald shines in Madrid

Donald is looking to go one better than his second place at Wentworth

England's Luke Donald added a 67 to his opening-round 65 on Friday to take the clubhouse lead early in the second round at the Madrid Masters.

Leading overnight with Welsh pair Rhys Davies and Jamie Donaldson, Donald hit seven birdies to go 12 under overall.

Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell hit a second successive 68 to take him to eight under for the tournament.

But Spaniard Sergio Garcia is set to miss his first cut on European soil in six years after a 73 left him one over.

Garcia last missed a cut in Europe at the 2004 Open at Royal Troon, but after starting his round with a double-bogey seven he was unable to recover enough to gain ground following his opening round 72.

The 30-year-old, who has dropped from second in the world to 32nd after nearly 18 months without a top-three finish, hit six birdies but there were also five bogeys.

"Nobody likes to miss a cut, in front of your home crowd even more," said Garcia. "It's disappointing, but it is what it is. I'm just not playing well enough. It's as simple as that.

"It's the way it is at the moment. Hopefully it will turn around and it's just a matter of seeing how long it will take.

"We've all been in these stretches, but it's hard because when you know your potential and you feel you can't achieve it it's difficult."

Donald had no such worries, continuing his superb response to losing the BMW PGA Championship by one on Sunday after double-bogeying the penultimate hole.

His only dropped shots in his second round came when he three-putted the short seventh and plugged in a bunker for another bogey on the next hole.

McDowell also bogeyed the seventh and eighth as well as dropping a shot on the 12th, but five birdies and an eagle three at the 10th ensured he maintained his challenge.

Other players to have completed their second round included Australian pair Brett Rumford (71) and Richard Green (67), who are both six under for the tournament, and a quartet of British players - Gary Orr (67), Bradley Dredge (73), James Morrison (70) and Peter Lawrie (69) - who are all four under.
