Justin Rose from England shot a second consecutive round of 65 to reach a lead of two shots at the Turkish Open.
The defending champion six-under par-round placed him at 12, with compatriots Danny Willet and Tom Lewis at 10 under.
Willett also carded to 65, while Lewis hit an impressive bogey-free eight-under par-round of 63.
"I played catch-up last year and other guys are able to do this year," Rose said.
"I think if I shot two 65's, you can always have someone from the chase packet doing the same.
" For me it's all about staying ahead this week . Even par will not really get it done, so you have to have the mentality to move on. "
Sam Horsfield from England (nine under) and Tommy Fleetwood (eight under) are part of the chase pack
Paul Dunne of Ireland was the leader of the party but a level-par round of 71 left him on seven under and five shots on Rose.
