McKibbin, a recent winner in Germany at the Porsche European Open, racked up 11 shots on the par-four 16th that ended his week in Munich.

The 20-year-old was two off the lead after an opening 68, and though he'd dropped back to level par thru 15, right on the cut line. A nightmare 16th then followed, obliterating his hopes of making the weekend.

Kiwi Daniel Hillier has a one-shot lead after carding an impressive bogey-free 67 on day two.

The DP World Tour rookie followed up an opening 68 to get to nine under and lead the way from Dane Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen, who is playing his first event on Tour after recently turning professional.

It was Neergaard-Petersen who set the early pace in getting to eight under with a 67 of his own, but Hillier made a hat-trick of birdies from the sixth - including a chip-in on the seventh and a lengthy putt on the eighth - to reach the summit.

Many of the field found it tough in the windy conditions, with defending champion Li Haotong carding a 10-over 82, and Hillier felt his experience in the wind from playing in his homeland helped his cause.

"Pretty pleased, obviously," he said. "It was pretty tough conditions out there. Breeze is definitely up and making it tricky. Pretty swirling winds as well.

"I played really solid front nine. There were a couple of lucky ones coming in and managed to go round bogey-free which was pretty good.

"I think it helps when you come from Wellington, playing in the wind all your life. Then you have to navigate your way around it."

Dutchman Joost Luiten was two shots off the lead after carding the lowest
