I hit so many good shots; I managed to stay calm and I holed a lot of putts,\u201d said Quesne.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe conditions were very tough and I hardly missed a shot. So I&#8217;m very happy,\u201d added the Frenchman.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile Willett mixed six birdies against two bogeys for a second successive 67 to remain in contention for his second Tour win this season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All in all it was a good day. You can never complain about a 67,\u201d said Willett.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy all round game is there or thereabouts. I\u2019m driving the ball really well and my distance control is very good. So if I can get a bit more consistency on the greens, I should be in for a good weekend,\u201d added Willet.<\/p>\n<p>While Fraser found it tough to assess the distance in the rain, the Australian was also content with his performance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe rain\u2019s so heavy and the ball\u2019s just not flying and it\u2019s hard to gauge the distance. It was miserable. The rain started to come down hard quite heavily in the last four holes. I just tried to stay as warm as I could and put the jacket on,\u201d said Fraser.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s still a lot of work to do but my game\u2019s going in the right direction. I managed to putt really well in the front-nine and holed a couple of putts on the back-nine to get the round going and that was nice,\u201d added the Australian.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Indian Sports News Network<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crans Montana, Switzerland: France\u2019s Julien Quesne made light of the chilly conditions by returning with a six-under-par 65 to grab the second round clubhouse lead after play was abandoned due to poor visibility at the Omega European Masters on Friday.
