Echenique takes the lead in Paris
Rafa Echenique has moved to the top of the leaderboard on the second day of the French Open.Last week's BMW International Open runner-up finished ten under par after a second round 67, two shots ahead of the opening day leader Martin Kaymer.
Meanwhile, Padraig Harrington's form was called into question again after he missed the cut for a fifth consecutive tournament.
A triple-bogey eight at the 14th hole in a round of 75 left the Irishman five over par, but he remained positive of a better performance in The Open in two weeks time.
"I was never comfortable on the greens all week," he said.
"I'm hoping that's all it was. I just struggled, just putted terribly and didn't get any confidence. That's reflected in the score.
"I'm not worried about how hard they set up Turnberry. I will be more worried about how I am, but I can manage any challenge."
