Michael Hoey fired an immaculate 66 to lie just two shots off the lead at the halfway stage of the SSE Scottish Hydro Challenge hosted by Macdonald Hotels & Resorts.
The 38-year old is tied for third on eight-under par after a five-birdie round and chasing Sweden's Mikael Lundberg, who shot a 65 to lead by one stroke from the overnight leader, Welshman Richard James (68).
The Island's Gavin Moynihan also shot 66 and is just three off the pace on seven under in a share of fifth with Dermot McElroy (71) on four under.
Neil O'Briain (67) two under and Ruaidhri McGee (69) level par, were the only other Irishmen to make the cut.
