At the halfway stage of the Irish Open, it’s Joakim Lagergren who leads at 12-under-par, sitting one shot clear of Adrien Saddier at The K Club.
Searching for a first win on the DP World Tour since 2018, the duo are five and four shots clear of a four-way tie for third, which includes tournament favorite Rory McIlroy.

Changing his wedges at the start of the week, McIlroy fired rounds of 71 and 66 to sit seven-under-par, alongside Thorbjorn Olesen, Daniel Hillier and Alfredo Garcia-Heredia.
Among the big names in pursuit are LIV Golfer Tyrrell Hatton, who is six-under, while his Legion XIII teammate, Tom McKibbin, is a shot back at five-under-par.
The leaders head out at 1.10pm local time, where those who made the cut will head out in pairs on Saturday.
