Other notable performances round out the leaderboard.

In an exciting turn of events at the Omega European Masters, India's Shubhankar Sharma displayed resilience despite faltering with three bogeys in his last six holes, managing to maintain a top-10 position by the halfway mark of the tournament. Currently, he stands tied eighth, recording an overall 8-under after a 2-under 68 in the second round at the Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club.

Fellow Indian golfer Yuvraj Sandhu erased memories of a disappointing first round with a much-improved 5-under 65, yet fell short of making the cut.
