Pablo Larrazabal has shot an even-par 71 in the second round through heavy winds to take a two-shot lead at the Spanish Open.

The Spaniard had four birdies on Friday but also a bogey on the second hole, followed by a six on the par-3 third after he hit the bunker.

Andrew Johnston of England fired a 74 to be two strokes behind Larrazabal.

Defending champion James Morrison (75), first-round leader Alexander Levy (76) and Alejandro Canizares (75) were all another shot back.

Larrazabal was hoping the wind - that held off Thursday - persisted over the weekend.

"If the wind blows like this, a level par, or more, total will win."
