Description
The second round of the 2026 New Giza Open at the New Giza Golf Club represents the high-stakes "Moving Day" where the field is cut down to the top 40 professionals and ties. The strategic narrative centers on the pursuit of the first-round leader, Ireland’s Sam Murphy, who carved out a narrow lead with a flawless 65. The primary hurdle for the field today is the increasing firmness of the greens under the Cairo sun, coupled with the tactical challenge of the back-nine stretch where the wind typically intensifies through the quarry-style layout.
The headline story for Saturday is the consistency of Andrea Romano. Having won the Red Sea Little Venice Open earlier in the week, the Italian is on a mission to secure back-to-back victories. Strategically, Romano's ability to minimize errors on the expansive waste areas of New Giza has made him the favorite to seize control of the leaderboard before the final round. All eyes are also on the cut line, as several big names—including those arriving from the Portugal Swing—scramble to find the birdies necessary to survive into Sunday.

Result Description
Andrea Romano produced a clinical performance during the second round of the 2026 New Giza Open, carding a second consecutive 5-under 67 to take a one-shot lead into the final day. The Italian’s strategic patience was the highlight of the afternoon; after an early bogey on the first hole, he remained composed, picking up six birdies to reach 10-under par total. Romano’s dominance on the par-5s has become the talk of the tournament, as he has yet to drop a stroke on the long holes through 36 holes.
Overnight leader Sam Murphy remains firmly in the hunt, sitting just one stroke back at 9-under after a steady 70. While Murphy couldn’t replicate the fireworks of his opening 65, his tactical play on the technical par-3s kept him in the final pairing for Sunday. Italy’s Luca Memeo shares the second-place spot with Murphy after a gritty 68. The round of the day belonged to Spain’s Mario Galiano Aguilar, whose 6-under 66 vaulted him into the top five. Further down the leaderboard, the cut fell at 1-under par, seeing several notable international players exit early as the desert conditions toughened.
