Ian Woosnam's back-to-back Senior Order of Merit title bid hangs in the balance as the Welshman is ten shots behind the lead at the Castellon Championship.

The former world number leads the Order of Merit going into the final tour event and he was frustrated with a successive round of par in Spain.

Sam Torrance could pip Woosnam and his one under par second round score of 71 means he is in a good position.

The Scotsman lies four strokes behind leader Angel Franco in joint fifth.

Torrance needs to finish in at least the top four to edge past fellow former Ryder Cup winning captain Woosnam.

"I played the best I have done all season from tee to green but I couldn't hole a thing," said Torrance.

"I missed five putts from inside five feet and ten from inside ten. I've still got a good chance tomorrow though so we shall see what happens."

Englishman Carl Mason, who is on five under par, and compatriot Glenn Ralph, who is a shot further back, are also still in contention to win the Order of Merit title which Woosnam is hoping to retain.
