Celadna, Czech Republic -- Steve Webster's 3-under-par 69 Saturday gave him a one-stroke lead after 54 holes at the European Tour's Moravia Silesia Open in Celadna, Czech Republic.

The Englishman's 54-hole total, 11-under 205, left him alone ahead of countryman Graeme Storm (70) and Spain's Ignacio Garrido (69), who are 10-under 206 and tied for second at the first golf tournament in the Czech Republic since 1997.

Webster and Storm began the day tied for first, but Webster made birdies at the first and second holes, leaving the pressure on Storm.

"Missed one green, (hit a) lot of good shots, but didn't make enough putts," a somewhat disappointed Webster said. "I'm right in a great position, so it's good."

Paris, July 3: Rafa Echenique's 4-under-par 67 Friday left him with a two-stroke lead midway through the European Tour's Open de France golf tournament in Paris.

Echenique's 36-hole total, 10-under 132, leads first-round front-runner, Martin Kaymer (72), Charl Schwartzel (66) and Steve Webster (65), who are tied for third at 134.

"I've had a good three weeks and you have to enjoy the moment," said Echenique, who was the runner-up at last week's BMW International in Munich after missing three straight cuts. "If my putting is as good as it has been for the first two rounds, then I have a great chance to win this tournament."

A birdie at the par-5 ninth hole helped him overtake Kaymer on the way to a solid back nine at Le Golf National.
