SANTO DA SERRA, Madeira Islands (AP) — Oliver Wilson of England shot a 7-under 65 Friday to take a one-stroke lead after two rounds of the Madeira Islands Open.

He has nine second-place finishes on the European Tour but has yet to win. He lost his main tour card at the end of last year

Wilson is at 13-under 131 on the mountainous Santa da Serra course. Tied for second are Sweden’s Magnus Carlsson (66) and 19-year old Joakim Lagergren (66) and England’s Andy Sullivan (64).

The tournament is being played on a Portuguese archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean about 400 miles west of Morocco.
