VYSOKY UJEZD, Czech Republic – Edoardo Molinari shot his second straight 6-under 66 and earned a two-shot lead after two rounds of the Czech Masters on Friday.

Tied for fourth and two strokes off the lead overnight, the Italian surged with six birdies for his second bogey-free round and a 12-under 132 total at the Albatross Golf Resort near Prague.

"At the moment, I'm very comfortable, I'm enjoying playing golf," Molinari said. "I've been going through a tough few years so at the minute I'm just really enjoying myself on the golf course."

Three straight birdies on the final three holes gave 2015 Czech Masters champion Thomas Pieters a bogey-free round of 5-under 67 and sole second at 134.
