Strange, Wood share 1-shot lead in Germany

COLOGNE, Germany (AP) — Scott Strange shot a 4-under 68 and Chris Wood had a 69 to share a one-stroke lead after the second round of the Mercedes-Benz Championship on Friday. Soren Hansen (71) had a one-shot lead until a double-bogey on the final 18th hole. Ross Fisher and James Kingston each shot 69 to also trail the leaders by one stroke. Wood missed a birdie putt at the final hole that would have left him in sole possession of the lead. Europe’s Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie, without a top-10 finish since June of last year, had a 69 to finish six shots behind the leaders. Bernhard Langer, seeking to become the oldest winner on the European tour at 52, watched his chances fade with a 75.
