VILAMOURA, Portugal — Nino Bertasio carded a 2-under 69 Friday to hold a two-shot lead after the second round of the Portugal Masters.

“A good second round in. Tomorrow starts the weekend, basically a new tournament, and I’m looking forward to it,” the leader said.
Bertasio, 33, is seeking his first win after nine top-10 finishes in six seasons on the tour.
