Holman shoots 6-under 65 for 2-shot lead in Kuala Lumpur

"Unbelievable...it's been six years since I last won a tournament", said Fraser, whose previous wins on the European Tour were in the 2003 Russian Open and 2010 Ballantine's Championship.

He shot a one over par round of 72 to take him back to level par which was not enough to see him through the cut at -1.

Unheralded Nathan Holman of Australia used flawless putting down the stretch to widen his lead to two strokes at the midway point of the Maybank Championship Malaysia today.

Starting the day with a three-stroke advantage, the overnight leader Lee fought off Fraser for most of the round as the pair matched fine iron play on the par-71 Royal Selangor Golf Club.

The world number 13 chipped in for an eagle on the 13th, holed from 45 feet for birdie on the next and picked up another shot on the par-five 15th, before ending his round in style with another long birdie putt on the last, which slammed into the back of the hole before dropping.

That brought his winnings in his first four tournaments both on the Asian Tour and local tour this season to more than P15 million.

His fine play lately has catapulted him up golf's world rankings in recent months and a win in Malaysia would push him past Sweden's Henrik Stenson to first in the Race to Dubai rankings, according to the European Tour.

Que said he had good memories of playing in Malaysia where he had done well in the past.
