ROME, March 18 (Reuters) – A thrifty investment helped
\nAnthony Wall<\/a> take the lead after the Sicilian Open second round,
\nthe Briton attributing his four-under-par 67 on Friday to an
\niPhone application costing less than one pound ($1.62).<\/p>\n

Wall, who finished two shots ahead of France\u2019s Raphael
\nJacquelin<\/a> (69) and Australian left-hander Richard Green<\/a> (67)
\nafter his bogey-free round, said the application had aided his
\nputting.<\/p>\n

\u201cI bought a Dave Stockton (twice former U.S. PGA champion)
\niPhone app about reading greens and that is the best 59 pence I
\nhave ever spent because his tips have really simplified things,\u201d
\nEnglishman Wall told the European Tour\u2019s website
\n(www.europeantour.com) after carding a nine-under total of 133.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have just been looking at the low side of every putt for
\nthe last two days, really concentrating on the last third of the
\nputt as opposed to the whole putt and that has definitely helped
\nme.\u201d<\/p>\n

Former European Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie<\/a> overcame
\nillness to fire a second straight 69 and claim a share of ninth
\nplace on 138.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not feeling very well, I have terrible flu so I did
\nwell today. I haven\u2019t dropped a shot since the first two holes
\nof round one, things are looking up,\u201d said Montgomerie who is
\nchasing his first top-10 finish since 2008.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never missed a day\u2019s work through illness. I\u2019ve not
\nstarted this year well but am beginning to feel it\u2019s coming back
\nagain,\u201d added the eight-times European number one.<\/p>\n
