Paul o Hanlon in second place in Europro event.

English man Paul Maddy holds onto his 4 shot lead going into the last round of the Motocaddy Masters at the Players club in Bristol after a second round of 68.It was a good display by Paul as he made 16 pars and birdies at the 1st and 12th.
After rounds of 64/68 he takes a 4 shot lead from Paul oHanlon.In the last tournament Paul was only 2 shots behind Tom Haylock going into the last round but his game fell apart for a 78 and a drop down to 21st place.He will have learned from that experience and hopefully can attack the leader tomorrow.
