Finland's Sanna Nuutinen carded a second round of 68 to claim a share of the lead with Australia's Stephanie Kyriacou at the halfway stage of the Big Green Egg Open.

Nuutinen recorded five birdies and a solitary bogey at Rosendaelsche Golf Club to reach six under par, with overnight leader Kyriacou adding a 72 to her opening 66.

"It was just easy," Nuutinen said. "I hit a lot of fairways and a lot of greens, so it was a stress-free round.

"My caddie unfortunately had to withdraw at the last minute due to an injury. I'm trying to manage it myself this week. It looks like it is going well."

Thailand's Atthaya Thitikul, who won last week's Tipsport Czech Ladies Open, is two shots off the lead after a second consecutive 70, with Scotland's Michele Thomson part of a four-strong group on three under.
