Grant Forrest targets first DP World Tour title after strong start in Madrid
The Scot has twice finished tied third in Spain's national open, in 2021 and 2024, and has never missed the cut across his six previous appearances.
He held a share of the lead after a first-round 66 and he backed it up with a 67 on Friday to reach nine under, with countryman Connor Syme and Switzerland's Joel Girrbach as his nearest challengers.
"It was a good, really good score in the end," said forrest.
"You know, I didn't have my best stuff on our first five or six holes, but made a couple of really nice par saves to keep the momentum going, and then, yeah, I just managed to make quite a few birdies.
"Started driving it well the last 12 holes and yeah, delighted with four under. I probably didn't play quite as well as yesterday."
Eugenio Chacarra, who is playing on home soil with a fractured toe, and Joe Dean are both at seven under, with Danish duo Jacob Skov Olesen and Jeff Winther a shot further back, alongside French pair Martin Couvra and Victor Perez and New Zealand's Daniel Hillier.
Patrick Reed, who has led the Race to Dubai Rankings Delivered by DP World since February, missed the cut and Chacarra will leapfrog both Rory McIlroy and the American with a victory on Sunday.
