Grégory Havret leads by a single shot at the halfway stage of the Trophée Hassan II after posting a second successive 70 on Friday.
Here, we take a look at what some of those in the chasing pack had to say after their second rounds.
"I've been playing well and yesterday I didn't play well from tee to green but I managed to salvage a couple of late birdies but today I played better. I hit my driver straighter and I was striking my irons more solidly so I gave myself a lot of chances and I'm putting well so it's disappointing to finish with a couple of bogeys but I got a couple of bad lies and things didn't go my way at the end. But I'd have taken that score at the start of the day."
Grégory Bourdy (71, -4)
"I am very pleased about my game, again it was a very good day. I played solid the whole round and I think the driver was the key again today. I made a lot of fairways and it's much easier when you do that, there are so many tricky greens. It was a good day. It's good to be in this position, two shots behind the leader Greg and with a few guys nearby. I am feeling good and confident and I really like this course so I'm enjoying every minute."
