Fredrik Andersson Hed shot 6-under 66 on Friday at the Italian Open to build a one-shot lead over a five-man group that includes Miguel Angel Jimenez.

Hed was at 8 under after his second round, just ahead of Jimenez and Spaniards Alejandro Canizares and Ignacio Garrido, Nicolas Colsaerts of Belgium and Hennie Otto of South Africa.

The biggest story of the weekend, though, might be 17-year-old phenom Matteo Manassero.

Making his professional debut, the Italian shot a second straight 2-under 70 and is only four shots off the lead heading into the weekend at his national tournament.
