Argentina's Daniel Vancsik added a second round of 66 to his opening 64 to take the lead at the Portugal Masters.

England's Ross Fisher and Steve Webster, Swede Martin Erlandsson and Spaniard Alvaro Quiros share second place, two shots off the pace.

Quiros is playing in only his second event after five months out following wrist surgery.

Overnight leader Martin Kaymer of Germany could only manage a 72 and dropped to a share of sixth.

Kaymer had shot a new course record of 61 in Friday's opening round.

Vancsik won the Madeira Islands Open in March and was leading the Madrid Open on Sunday until he had a nine on the fifth hole of the final round.

The 30-year-old, who has had 16 birdies in his opening two rounds said: "This course is good for my game. The driver is my best club and I can fly all the bunkers."

Lee Westwood birdied the last two holes to climb to 10 under, four behind Vancsik while Justin Rose's hopes of climbing to the top of the European Order of Merit faded with a bogey six at the 17th which dropped him to five under, nine off the pace.

Ulster teenager Rory McIlroy made it four cuts out of four as a professional, but this time with only one shot to spare but Ryder Cup trio David Howell, Darren Clarke and Paul McGinley all missed the cut.
