Jose Maria Olazabal missed the cut in his first tournament since winning the Masters, but Sergio Garcia of Spain advanced in his first pro tournament despite Friday's second-round 73 at the Spanish Peugot Open.

Jarmo Sandelin of Sweden and Scotland's Paul Lawrie each shot a second straight 6-under-par 66 to tie for the lead at 132.

England's Jamie Spence was one stroke back. He closed with two bogeys and still shot a 68.

Olazabal fired a 71 in Friday's lightning-disrupted round and finished the two rounds at 143. It took a 142 to qualify for the last two days.

The Spaniard blamed the hectic 10 days he has had since winning the Masters for his poor play.

"I knew it was always going to be tough to play well, but missing the cut always hurts," Olazabal said. "I had a terrible day. I didn't make a single putt. My drive failed when I had to try to shoot birdies in order to make the cut."

Olazabal had to birdie one of his last three holes to advance, but could only manage pars.

Garcia, the top amateur at the Masters and reigning British amateur champion, went into the third round with a 140.

The 19-year-old shot a 67 in his first pro round Thursday.

Seve Ballesteros, who was thinking about skipping the tournament because of knee problems, shot a 69 to scrape under the cut at 142.
