Brown drops back

Liang Wen-chong remained top of the leaderboard at the end of the second round of the GS Caltex Maekyung Open after carding a one-under-par 71, while Mitchell Brown is the best of the Aussies, four strokes off the lead. Following an eight-under 64 in the opening round, China&aposs Liang enjoyed a solid round in which he shot four birdies and three bogeys at the Nam Seoul Country Club. Just one shot behind is local Kim Kyung-tae who carded a superb 66. Australian rookie Mitchell Brown dropped to third after he made a 73 and is joined by Shin Yong-jin and Lee Gung-hee on 139. A second round 69 has helped Australian Gavin Flint move up the leaderboard to be seven strokes off the pace at two-under, while Unho Park (69) and Woon-joon Lee (67) are a further stroke further back. Two successive rounds of 72 has also left Scott Hend on Par after two days and with little chance of overhauling Liang, while Jarrod Mosely (72) is at two-over.
