Australian Mitchell Brown is equal fourth at the end of the second round of the Mercuries Taiwan Masters in Taipei on Friday. Brown carded a one-under-par second round of 71 to be four-under overall and six strokes behind tearaway leader Lin Wen-hong (10-under) who enjoys a three-stroke lead on the rest of the field. Brown&aposs compatriot Neven Basic is a shot further back on three-under in a share of ninth spot while Richard Moir (two-under), David Gleeson (one-under) and Marcus Both (one-under) are the next-best placed Aussies. Lin carded an impressive nine-under-par 63 to storm to the top of the leaderboard after defending champion Lu Wen-teh had taken the lead earlier in the day. Three-time winner Lu shot a faultless five-under-par 67 and is seven-under overall in sole possession of second place at the Taiwan Golf and Country Club. “The conditions were ideal today and I&aposm happy to ride on that,” said Lu. “I turned 45 this year but I feel like a 35-year-old. There is still a lot left in me and I don&apost see myself retiring anytime soon.” “I love the game and enjoy competing on the Asian Tour and as long as I have the passion, I will continue to strive for success.” Hsu Mong-nan is third after carding a five-under-par 67 while three players are tied with Brown for fourth at four-under overall.
