In what was a roller coaster second round at the Japan Golf Tour Championship, Brendan finds himself in 12th place but only four shots behind the leader at the completion of 36 holes.

Brendan bookended his round with birdies at his 4th and 6th holes and then two more at his 13th and 14th holes but in between he dropped fours shots through the turn and cost himself a chance of closer contention. 

Japan's Toru Taniguchi and Frankie Minoza of the Philippines lead at 4 under at the completion of the opening 36 holes.
