ATZENBRUGG, Austria (AP) -- Robert Coles of England shot a 7-under 65 Friday to share the clubhouse lead with Joost Luiten of the Netherlands in the second round of the Austrian Open.

Luiten shot a 70 to sit tied with Coles at 7-under 137, two shots ahead of Daniel Gaunt, Emanuele Canonica and Austrian amateur Matthias Schwab. Both Coles and Luiten are looking for their first European Tour victory.

Overnight leader Liam Bond of Wales had a 74 to sit three shots back.

Three-time major champion Padraig Harrington carded 70 to make the cut, but defending champion Jose Manuel Lara of Spain was going home early after a 74, finishing at 5 over for two rounds.
