Siddikur opened up a two-shot lead at the halfway point of the Brunei Open after the Bangladesh golfer posted a second-round 67 to move to 11-under-par. The 25-year-old's four-under effort at the Empire Hotel and Country Club saw him move clear of overnight leader Thammanoon Srirot, who carded a 71, and Australian Adam Groom, who fired a 68. "I'm very happy and excited with my total score as this is the first time I have been 11-under-par after the second round," said Siddikur, who is bidding to become the first Bangladeshi to win on the Asian Tour. "I was struggling a bit with my short putts because I found it tough to read the lines. If I had managed to get my putter working, I would have had a better score. Overall it was a good round and I'm looking forward to the weekend." http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5i1EgKzN8f6BRrj3dk6-djbFxx2EA
