Swede Sjoholm leads at halfway and looking for maiden victory

Chilean-born Joel Sjoholm, adopted by a Swedish couple when three months old, is the halfway leader at the BMW International Open in Cologne.

Sjoholm, dressed in his now customary plus-fours, eagled both the 577-yard 16th and 546-yard third for a superb 66 in the windy conditions at Gut Larchenhof.

A closing birdie took the 26-year-old, 306th in the world and chasing his first European Tour win, to 11 under par.
