Straka starts the weekend in fourth place in Forth Worth

Austria's best professional golfer Sepp Straka goes into the weekend in a strong fourth place at the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth. The 31-year-old from Vienna completed his second round at the PGA Tour tournament with prize money of 9.1 million dollars on Friday with an excellent 66 and is in a tie for fourth place.

With a total of 134 strokes (6 under par), he is four strokes behind leader Davis Riley, who even managed a round of 64. 

Straka, who had failed to make the cut at the PGA Championship the previous week, was not affected by the wind and a thunderstorm break in the finish. He made four of his six birdies on the back nine.
