Jens Dantorp defied heavy rain to set the pace on 14 under par at the halfway stage of the Kärnten Open presented by Mazda.
The Swede lost his playing privileges on The European Tour last year, but did his chances of securing a prompt return to the top tier no harm at all after moving to 14 under par total at Golfclub Schloss Finkenstein, in the Austrian town of Godersdörf.
