It was a case of a reversal of fortune for Derek Fung and Dominique Boulet yesterday.
The two Hong Kong golfers have had vastly contrasting fortunes at the Hong Kong Open in recent years, with Boulet traditionally doing well in the event and Fung never making it past the cut.
Yesterday, however, Fung and Boulet switched roles. Fung's dream start to the tournament continued with the 29-year-old following on from Thursday's three-under-par 68 with a confident two-under-par 69.
That left Fung with a five-under-par 36-hole aggregate 137, four strokes off the lead and having secured his first Hong Kong Open cut. Only a bogey five on the par-four 10th prevented Fung from grabbing a share of third.
Although Boulet will join Fung in today's third round, he had to wait until last night's cut was finalised before being able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Boulet was left desperately disappointed after a nightmare finish on the picturesque 18th, where he saw his overall score go from a respectable one under par to two over.
