Choi chased by Chapchai at China Open

Korean Choi Ho-sung shot a 68 for a two-stroke lead over Thailand's Chapchai Nirat and Austrian Markus Brier in the second round of the Volvo China Open on Friday.

Brier, the first-round leader and 2007 champion, posted a 73 and Chapchai stroked a 71 to lie four-under par at the Beijing CBD International Golf Club.

Irishman Paul McGinley had the best round of the day, firing 67 to share fourth place with Spain's Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano, three off the pace in the European Tour and OneAsia Tour co-sanctioned event.
