Nailsea's Chris Wood secured his sixth cut in row ensuring another pay cheque at the European Open in Kent.

The 22-year-old carded a one-over par 73 to be around for the weekend.

Wood went out in level par 35 with two birdies and two bogeys but came home in 38 shots including a double bogey six at the par-four 13th.

But his two round score of 142, two under par, means that he will once again be in the money which is more than can be said for some big names including Masters Champion Angel Cabrera and (possibly) Lee Westwood.

Bristol's David Dixon had a disappointing day with a second round 76 to add to his first day's total of 73 to leave him at five over par as he made his way home early.

Also out of the weekend was Shane Lowry, the Irish Open champion who only turned pro earlier this week.

The 22-year-old followed his first round 76 with a three-over par 75 to miss the cut

Lowry said: "I played very well today, but didn't hole a putt. My putting let me down – that's the way it is and you have to deal with it."
