A second round of even par 72 was certainly an improvement for Brendan at the WGC HSBC event in Shanghai but he is still very disappointed with the way he has played on the opening two days.

"I again played poorly today and putted terribly," said Brendan after his second round saw him improve from 69th to 60th in the 78 player field.

"I just don't seem to be reading the greens well. They are bent greens but there must be some grain in them as I just can't seem to get the hang of them."

Brendan plays the weekend here and then on Monday heads back to Shizuoka in Japan for the Visa Taiheiyo Masters an event he won three years ago.
