Nick Dougherty ends horror run
NICK DOUGHERTY ensured himself a first pay cheque this year after ending a horror run of 22 straight missed cuts.
Nick Dougherty posted an Omega European Masters second round one-over-par 72 to remain in contention at seven under on the Crans-sur-Sierre course.
Four players – Rory McIlroy (69), Jamie Donaldson (66) and the English pair of Gary Boyd (69) and recent Irish Open winner Simon Dyson (68) – share the lead.
Five others, among them Dougherty and world No 5 Martin Kaymer (70), are one stroke further back.
Dougherty, 29, has not banked a prize cheque since finishing 25th in last November’s Barclays Singapore Open.
He has missed the cut in every event since.
